I recall when I had the first vehicle (that I had) that had an electronic readout for the temperature..."why would I need that"....now it's very nice to have.
Similarly, recall paying extra (on one of my new vehicles) for heated seats: who needs that, just let the car warm up....now it's very nice to have.
Finally, rear view camera: "who needs that, that's what mirrors are for"....now I've become lazy enough that I really like the rear view camera.
So all these things that were "why do that" are now Very Nice to Have's....
Somehow I don't see the tank turn / skid steer feature ever getting to the point of enough utility that it's nice to have.
Cool gimmick for the poseurs, not much more than that.
