Nah, it's functional, it just takes me a bit longer to read it. Hopefully you're right, and it's something I'll get used to.

Benz - Maserati ... well excuss me

A very warm welcome. Nice ride. As for the clock you get a feel for the hour that it is and basically just look at the minute hand. BUT I too agree with you about not offering a digi set up on base or base minus nav models.

ahh! I have a bare bone '10 loaner and I was wondering why it didn't have the digital clock. For 34k (sticker) it's kinda lacking. anyway back to the subj congrats on the "G"

I think you get a lot of good options with the premium package. But it's kinda ridiculous that they won't throw in something so simple as digital clock. It could easily be placed on the dash between the speedo and tacho.

It would be ridiculous to have a digital clock with a beutiful analog clock in the centre of the dashboard. IMHO.

When comparing the two and if you have the choice;
Digital = Tacky
Analogue = Classy

Yup, I agree as well. I turned my digi clock off during my first session of setting personal preferences. I hated seeing it there in the corner of the screen. I don't care for the compass in the mirror either and turning it off is temporary... turns back on when I restart the car.
I have Navi and have no need for some cheap digital compass.

If you really want a digital clock, you could always get one of those stick-on clocks from a car parts store.
