    i don't like them myself, but some cars (lexus lfa) need them because the engine was too powerful for analogue gagues

    So? A- tastelessly modified, B- stock. That's all I can say.

    Engine power has nothing to do with gauge type, and even if it did, there were much more powerful vehicles that used analogue (Veyron, for example).

    I believe he actually means 5-door liftbacks like A5 Sportback and 4 series Gran Coupe that are marketed as 4-door coupes.

    That's the point of a high-end luxury car.

    In manual A/C, you have to adjust it to outside temperature. Automatic just keeps it still, at least supposedly.

    Can change the information displayed, and show a wider range of it.

    Well, personally I like the digital speedometer in my Honda Civic. For me it is easier to read my exact speed that way.

    I meant those bits on the roof that are usually chrome. I know they're rails for roof racks
    Yeah, I don't mind digital gauges when they aren't too clunky. All you need in one is speed, rpm, some minor infotainment controls, and the rest can go on the screen.
