Default No sliding center display in RC-F

Just wondering if anyone knows why the RC-F doesn't have the sliding center display like the RC350 does? It doesn't bother me having the fixed center ring and the analog speedometer to the right, just curious if anyone knows what the reason was to make them different? I haven't read anything about that before.

Probably to save weight without that little motor, right?

Lexus wants to make it sporty I think. I saw ferrari got the analog speeds on the right side of their tach. The RCF got the analog but it is a ring not a digital display one. Therefor the center ring cant move. Maybe in the future they upgrade the analog tach to be digital display then the centering can move. It's cheaper to make I guess.

The Digital analog speed display on right can be switch to different display.

Yeah I end up watching the digital speedo more than the analog one whenever I'm driving.
