Its interesting you should bring that up, I've got a somewhat similar problem thinking about a new car to replace my 2008 Lincoln MKZ (which BTW has been an outstanding vehicle in every way). I don't really want to buy foreign so I've been thinking about another Lincoln, a Chrysler 300, or perhaps a Cadillac and I've looked at them. What seriously turns me off to all of them is the absence of manual button controls for various functions, almost everything being managed from a touch screen. I wouldn't mind a touch screen at home, but in a car I find it very distracting, probably much more so than texting or using a phone. After a few weeks with the current MKZ I pretty much knew where most of the controls were and could do what I needed without taking my eyes from the road. But it looks like if I want a car without touch-screen controls I'm going to have to give up my idea of a nicely equipped car and settle for a crap box.
