Ok thought I would start this poll to get a feel on what most of you think.
I lean towards the digital because you can customize it more and I am sure it would be easier to add a 200 MPH speedo
in the future. Just a computer mod or hack and your done !

I need to see this in person but i am leaning towards digital.
I agree about needing to see in person, but because my wife's car has a portion of her gauges that is digital and in my experience, it gets washed out when it's very bright and sunny out... makes it too hard to see. I hope that isn't the case with the Mustang's dash though...

I appreciate the classic style of the analog gauges in my 15 but the 18+ gauge cluster to me looks much better and should be able to be customized to ones liking.

I voted digital by the way.

If analog guages were old school high quality art pieces i would say that. But man the new digital dash is really nicely designed and that with the rewarmed engine are the only things i seem wanting from the '18

I am also leaning toward the digital gauge as it's a nice touch.

I wonder if the digital gauge has the same feature as the analog when the rpm gauge flashes red whenever you get to redline.

How much for the game boy dash?

I voted old school analog.

One thing I have never liked about the dash in any of the retro mustangs on (05-now) is the depth in which the gauge bezels are set. It makes it hard to see everything from the direct center and I found myself shifting my head to see the entire tach, or speedo. It's gotten much better since the S197 (the font they used on that was horrible), but there's still a slight tunnel effect to it.

I might have been more into the digital gauges if they actually presented more information than the analog gauges like the Audis, etc. But all these digital gauges do is show the same info as before, just on a screen instead. Yeah they shift around a bit but I just feel like they underutilized the whole setup.

I thought I liked the analog but seeing them back to back with the digital, my vote changed the digital is nice looking and clean.

Love the digital. Also looking forward to hearing the specs on the 2018 5.0. Maybe 2019 model year may be the time for a upgrade :)

used digital gauges in our 14 IS350 F Sport, so much better than analog, so much more possibilities

Honestly, I stare at computer screens all day. That and glare (I drive a convertible) renders them unreadable in certain situations. Would prefer analog myself, but I am stodgy and old school.
