Another way to look at it...
Ok...consider the "modern/retro" styling of the new mini or the audi TT.
Consider the appearance of the 356 Porsche dash.
Consider the appearance of the old 57 xk jags.
squash as much of all of these together into a beetle
and shove as much tech as you can into it with out changing the look too much. NOW...
Take a look at all things German from the 20's -30's.
Explode the car and rebuild it with leather staps and metal "o-ring" accents & bezels all metal knobs (no plastic)
Keeping all extraneous bits off so everything looks simple and handmade and as though it has a prupose...
BUT...keep as much tech in it as possible...
Hide stuff. Use and MP3 player (hidden)
Use a high tech dash and guages, but present them in an antique way. ....yeah.
See pics
