C'mon guys we're in the digital age, let the new age of digital gauges come thru. Its better for the cars and us anyways, digital gauges are lighter and cooler than analog gauges so we get lighter cars, you can provide a lot more info about the car with digital gauges than with analog gauges without making the car look like a clock store inside the car. Just imagine this... a go kart with analog gauges instead of a digital display... you would need like 3 analog gauges to provide what one digital display could do. Classic is Classic, New is New. I want NEW!

OH! and just imagine what they could do with OLEDs...IMAGINE!

My dads 1986 200sx has digital display, that's over 20 years ago. I prefer analog, but really like what they did with the ft as well.

Some of the old 1982/83 Subaru leone coupes had digi dashes.

I like both digi and analog. So I dont really mind
How about LED type screen thingy so you can have what looks like analog ones and just press the button and it swaps to digital one

Nah! I just love analogs instruments. If I wanted to stare at digital screens- I'd stare at my computer. Oh wait...

I'm sorry, but watching that dial on the left climb past 7500 is a thing of beauty.

(original 86 dash, although why the speedo goes to 150mph is totally beyond me)

I prefer the digital gauge...especially seeing the pic in GT5.

Reminds me of cyber formula, an old show i used to watch when i was a kid.

Digital gauge in current Civics and S2000 looks really dull...but from that pic ft-86 digital look really nice.
