crank windows and zero touchscreens is a feature, not a compromise. give me a dumb car with physical buttons over a rolling ipad any day of the week.

We are about to see this increasingly frequent commentary put to the test.
I understand zero touchscreens, but what's the problem with power windows? What if you're driving and you want to lower the passenger window?
The obvious answer is that you don't. I don't have any particular preference for crank windows, but drove cars with them for years, and can't ever recall it being a problem that I couldn't lower the passenger window while driving.
What if you get swept away by an unforeseen surge of water, and want to lower a window to get out?
