Hmm. They still have the screen in the center, but controls are also mounted on the steering wheel, and they are very intuitive. I also found the display on the center screen quite intuitive as well. The fact that you don't have to look down to see the speed, gas gauge etc is also very intuitive (at least to me). The joystick and the on/off button are also kind of fun and computer-like, I think. I didn't get a sense of pointless ugliness, but I am not really a car person, so whatever makes the driving experience fun and sort of relaxing is best for me.
