My mom bought a new car and it is a hybrid. It has startup animations and chimes just like a computer. I think it will get annoying real fast and I'm pretty sure you can't turn it off. The centre console also has a touch screen for the navigation and entertainment system. This screen can play little animations that supposedly encourage you to drive more economically. It can be set to show different information and doesn't make noise upon startup. I'll have to review the manual even more...
