The Dodge RAM (And family) does it pretty nicely... theres a huge 13" screen in portrait mode; with lots of menus that you can link to any 'button' you choose, even deep in the system... but there are 8 physical buttons; 4 on either side of the screen. These are most of the things you'd want in physical buttons...

I'd love to see the physical buttons get LCD screens that would allow the customer to set them to any function they want; but I don't find myself wishing for physical buttons... they're trying.
