What does something looking ugly have to do with it having buttons?

The interior looks like the car version of those "Xbox 720", "Gameboy Omega" meme renders from the late 2000s. It's just plain ugly.

Compare that to some of the beautiful devices Braun and Sony created in the past. Buttons don't prevent something from looking beautifully crafted. But ugly design does.

Thinking of it, you know who could design a beautiful Ferrari interior? Teenage Engineering. Look up the OB4 radio in red.

Heck yes, Teenage Engineering does indeed have some beautiful design. Same as Braun.

I looked up "Xbox 720" and can't see the resemblens to the Luces inside.

The type of buttons, how you use them, how they feel, is for me part of the design. And I like what I see :)
