Christ some people can't even drive so asking them to use gestures is just plain stupid  :laugh:

Looks like most of the dashboard tech the current Audi TT has access to.

Yes, trickle down from VAG's premium range...

thankfully, its the best thing about the TT!

Has it got a gesture to ask if you'd like any product on your hair? ;-)

And it's been trying so hard to shake off the hairdresser label.

I think if this one was the first one they'd launched, it wouldn't have that stigma, i think it looks great, a true baby R8, but it cant shake off its predecessors unfortunately.

Does it really matter what others think. Since the Mk1 the TT has been one of the best looking cars on the market. People who say it's a hairdressers car clearly no very little about the car.

To be fair, the MK I looked a lot better than it drove, it was not an optimised sporty coupe - it was a Golf with a pretty dress on. The MK II was much better at being what it was supposed to be.

I'm not a fan of moving key controls onto touch screens, as is the current trend, because it's bloody unsafe! So moving towards gesture controls seems bonkers to me. Style over function. I think they, the car designers, should be concentrating their efforts on finding ways to operate all essential controls from the steering wheel. Surely it's much safer to keep your eyes ahead and learn how to navigate the key controls whilst holding the steering wheel. If they put their minds to it you could have an F1 style steering wheel in which the driver could access 'almost' anything without needing to look across to a sodding touch screen. Which is both dangerous and clunky whilst on the move.
