"  MyFord Touch promised powerful features and an elegant interface when it debuted at CES in 2010, but has since become a sore spot for Ford when it was widely criticized for being buggy and overly complicated. Ford made a valiant effort in 2012 to satisfy frustrated customers by issuing a free software upgrade to 300,000 owners, but their latest move just might be radical enough to save the beleaguered follow-up to Microsoft Sync. According to vague allusions in a recent email alert, the MyFord Touch system in future Ford vehicles will more closely resemble the current F-150&amp;#039;s arrangement which, according to Ford, &amp;quot;blends touch screen capability with traditional knobs and buttons.&amp;quot; While Ford global development honcho Raj Nair mentioned to Automotive News that &amp;quot;[customer] satisfaction is higher on vehicles equipped with MyFord Touch than without,&amp;quot; it&amp;#039;s likely that adding more familiar physical controls just might lift the stigma from the widely criticized interface, much in the same way that BMW&amp;#039;s once-dreaded iDrive gained a new lease on life when it was redesigned with a more intuitive, button-based setup.
