Mr Regular Cars didn't like the yoke thingy - apparently it's too hard to steer around corners without hitting yourself in the crotch

Apart from replacing the speedo with an abacus, there's very little you could do to make that dash less fussy and complicated. Would it actually be possible to manufacture a car today with such a simple dash ?

The Series 1 Citroen C1 dash was about as simple as a modern-day dash could get... And absolutely none the worse for it...
