Holy Shades of Aesop's G-One! I think there's a classic story along that line that involves transportation! The moral of the story is something along the line of, Try to please everyone and you end up pleasing no one.

Is it a 25?
I didn't take the picture of the steering wheel/dash, but yeah, mine was the 2.5L Diesel.

Or as Ricky Nelson said in a song "you can't please everyone so you've got to please yourself.

Oops, you're right. I stand corrected. Thanks.
I hope EM will keep the Elgin gauge cluster on the tour so more people can experience it in person. So far not many people have been able to see the prototype in person as of yet and I feel that contributes greatly to the anxiety surrounding this issue. It will of course be even better when we can see the design refined and fully functional in the proper context of the dash.
The comments from people who have seen the prototype Elgin in person have been night and day different from those who have only seen photos online. The reports from people who have actually seen it in person have been overwhelmingly positive or neutral and this trend has continued with several posts I have seen from those who have now experienced it in New York such as 'lio's just above.
After reading all the discussion online ahead of time I was apprehensive about the Elgin gauge cluster before I had the chance to experience it in person back in December. This first hand experience really made it clear to me that this is not nearly as big of an issue as many people believe it to be and reinforced my opinion to keep an open mind about it. I do believe there could still be some valid questions in terms of functionality however I also believe these questions can only truly be answered via real world testing which will occur before the vehicle goes on sale.

Just caught up to this thread, and have seen it all before as have many others
"We" are so few - Our "Poll "total doesn't equal 100 people (out of 45,000+)
The poll has less than 1/2 of the number that hates it- the others
love it or don't give a sh*t.
People who try to justify company decisions/designs on self-centered needs, or as frequently referred- narcissistic i.e. the dash should be changed because they need it is child like.
The decision to purchase this vehicle has been made before people even sit in it, and see the interior appointments, and since all of us (with very few exceptions) have actually driven one this is totally silly.
We have read endless posts about the vision being impaired by the lack of rear window, windshield posts that will block out the sun, fenders and width of the unit to cause concern in judgement- I read 'em all.
When you finally get your butt inside, ALL melts away. It ALL works.
I'm confident, that whatever the final product, the masses will flock to it, and for those who want to modify i- you'll have a beautiful vehicle to express yourself
