    Even without the new EU regulations on this, I bet VW was already planning on doing this. The widespread backlash to the non-illuminated capacitive touch controls on the newest Golf GTIs/Rs was significant. I wouldn’t have bought one of those, and a Golf R is basically my dream car.

      I’ve been passing on a Golf R for the past 3 years for this exact reason.

      I dunno. Cadillac has been doing this for decades and show no sign of stopping. I had them in my Chevy Volt and they were infuriating.
