I am not a fan of this. Why would anyone want their v8 or v12 Aston Martin’s gauges (or their offroading Land Rover for that matter) to look like the ones in a cheap electric car?
Thankfully it sounds like the design change is optional and you can keep your OEM gauges if you prefer them.
I will be a happy camper if the new CarPlay just changes one little thing - allow us the dignity of pinch to zoom in google maps rather than the + - tap game.
100% agree. It looks bloody awful. I'd never use the CarPlay Ultra. I wish AM kept the stainless steel gauges with counterclockwise tach found in the VH Platform cars from the mid-2000s to mid-2010s. What a beautiful gauge cluster.
