hooray for column shifters!
maybe we can get some more of them back.
Yeah, lets get that pesky gear selector out of the way to free up some real estate for the important stuff - the iPhone 5S.
John, you know you have your wallet inside a "big gulp" cup-holder - right ?
Also a nod to Mercedes-Benz heritage since many of their cars from the 1950s and 1960s had column shifters...
If you must replace the traditional shifter with an electronic selector this makes more sense than BMW's version. BMW decided to put the electronic selector in the same spot as the traditional one taking up the same space.
