Mr. Warming pointed to another picture of the spare, yet modern, steering-wheel column and single large dashboard dial on an old 1960s Mini, the inspiration for the minimalist dashboard of the Mini Rocketman, an even tinier Mini concept car that made its debut at the Geneva Motor Show in March.
The Ram's gearshift selector is a rotary dial mounted vertically to the right of the steering wheel, and I, for one, found it pretty friendly to operate.
