Ford SmartGauge LCD Instrument Panel Brings Futuristic Look, Green Leaves To 2010 Hybrids

UPDATE: We got a first-hand look at the new SmartGauge —

Ford's making no small secret of their upcoming 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid and 2010 Mercury Milan Hybrid (not the just-revealed 2010 Ford Fusion), but it may be the stellar high-tech SmartGauge LCD instrument panels feature that makes these cars stand out in the crowd. Billed as a way for drivers to maximize fuel economy, SmartGauge with "EcoGuide" uses an all-digital, LCD screen instrument cluster with lively animations to prompt drivers on good driving habits by displaying a heavily stylized greenery for good behavior. The gauges can be customized to display whatever real time data the driver wishes to see. Shades of the 80's era digital dashes aside, this looks impossibly nifty and we can't wait to take a closer look later today. Hit the jump for the press release and the cool video of the screen changing and updating before your very eyes.

I'm sure other companie's will jump on this technology too..the LCD's are prob made in japan.lol

lol this will be too distracting for many drivers ... cool way to get people to save fuel and driver smarter though

Normally i'd be like muthafukkk Ford..but very impressive. I'm always skeptical when these cool features are shown because 90% of the time, car makers dont have the balls to pull the trigger and actually implement their prototype featuers..especially American car makers, but lets see.

Just as Sunilll says, still not enough to buy a Ford
