I like that there is no speedometer behind the steering wheel

I think the car has to have a HUD...surely...

What model/year? I've never seen a car that didn't have this.

Not having tactile feedback on turn indicators by stock is absurd imho

This one provides manu-matic mode, which you can operate without looking at buttons. Not sure if this is a requirement for a new car though.

I think there is still a mechanism on the steering wheel I read somewhere.

Is that really possible anymore on modern vehicles that come with fancy screens?

Is it visible to the driver, while driving?

I would prefer a gearshift lever, and a turn signal stalk. and lights on/off/flash(look at new model s/x)

Not found that setting on my car unfortunately.
