It's one of the nicest interior features of the car and clock treatments in ANY car. Why would you want to replace that with a hideous looking LED monstrosity?

thats too flashy I think, and the blue LED stands out too much and does not mach any color in the car, at least green or white , still the OEM is way nicer, I think, but evrybody got there taste and its ur car and u can do whatever makes u happy.

Who in their right mind would replace the classy analog clock with a tacky LED one?! It'd probably ruin the look of the interior.

I suspect a lot of younger people prefer a digital readout. I'd be happy just knowing that my analog clock was synchronized to a highly accurate source such as the internal GPS time.

so it can be easier to read.And obvs but who tf is gonna replace it with a tack clock. I'm sure theres a really nice LED digital clock that'd really match the cars interior.

Its 2013, nobodys using analog clocks anymore. A lot of the people here are older then me and they grew up with analog clocks but its a drag to read.

The analog clock is pretty and it looks nice but I'm constantly looking for the little digital time on my Nav screen or the dash board then realize there is none and go back to the analog to check time. Wish there were a small on on the dash somewhere.
