When it comes to style alone I can understand how some people would like the look of that dash, even though to me it's way too garish. But, maybe because I'm old-school about driving, I don't get having an automatic transmission in a "sporty" car. Real men drive sports cars with stick shifts. Okay, that may be a bit hyperbolic but you gotta admit that having a tach in an automatic is almost entirely about looks and not much at all about function. Even with my stick shift Miata, I only use the tach occasionally.
