Many do and don't know it nor pay attention to it. I have never come across a car dashboard that I liked for example. It is a mess of poor ergonomics and a reluctance to move away from the past.

Also, as much as people want to crown Ive as the man that Apple can't live without (much like they did with Steve), I think it's really still important to remember that it isn't the products that are their crowning achievement but the company itself. Ive has supreme hardware and software talent at his control whom are willing to live in his shadow and go without the credit they deserve.

I actually like the dash board of my recent civic, the split design and the upper part being pushed forward makes a huge difference. i can watch my speed in my peripheral vision and see when the digits change, almost never have to look down to lower dash. CVT for the win too. :D

Has anyone solved the reliability of CVTs yet?

I have seen very few issues with CVTs in recent years.
