We're rather taken with this instrumentation, part of an option on two high-end Fords in the US called MyFord Touch.
In combination with a central touch-screen for more detailed information and entertainment/info management, this is a seriously clear and intuitive setup.
The 4-inch screens on either side of the main dial can be manipulated by four-way switches on the steering wheel, as we have over here on the Mondeo/S-MAX/Galaxy cars.
But we'd definitely like to see this particular setup in our view over this side of the pond.
