This one sparks joy.
This one (ETA: my '97 Prelude) sparks so much joy.
The best looking dials on a dashboard I have ever seen is the dashboard from the Saab 9000 CSE.
This isn't exacty what I remember, but close enough:
I love the green and orange colors, the car diagram, the turbo, temp and fuel dials are just great.
Granted I was a kid when we had that car, but the colors were beautiful
I have two thoughts.
Damn thats beautiful and Saab as in the guys who made jets for various European nations during the cold war? Is this a Toyota situation where they make cars as well as military equiptment.
SAAB Automobile is the company that built the cars, their parent company was SAAB AB the aerospace and defence company that is still going these days.
SAAB Automobile was sold to GM back in 1989, and the SAAB 9000 series was produced under GM leadership
Huh neat. Also its always fucking GM.
That looks just like my Sunfire's dash, other than mph being more prominent than km/h and it redlining over 7k rpm.
Is that an S2000?
Nope. 5th gen Honda Prelude.
Man, I miss my Sunfire so much it hurts my heart
I so very much preferred speedometers like that which had every 10 marked rather than every 20 like so many seem to do

So does this one.
So does this one.
Used to love Super Pursuit Mode.
Even made the cars on the overpass go faster.
There reason this one and the analogue dials spark joy is because there's something tangible happening in front of us. Either needles are moving or lights are being lit.
The modern iPad display just feels... disconnected, I guess
Also, a digital display may be quicker to read a value, but an analog dial is infinitely superior for displaying both range and rate of change, which for rapid readouts is much more significant.
Mine's a fully digital one but they have animations on the sides that give that sort of feedback... Without it, though, yeah, I think it would make me feel more disconnected from driving, which isn't exactly a good thing
Oh wow, what car is that!?
C4 Corvette!
