It's time to make a stand

I'm going to go on record right here and right now: if you design a vehicle with an automatic transmission the shifter belongs on the steering column, NOT the console.

There's absolutely no reason to put an automatic shifter in the center console. It just takes up a whole bunch of space for a lever that the average driver touches at most 3 times during their drive.

"B-but what about manual shifting modes?" I hear you sniveling. "It lets me pretend I have a manual, and I can't do that if it's on the column!" Shifter paddles or buy a fucking manual transmission you limp-dick candyass.

i agree with you op. plus a shifter on the column will prevent people from mistaking their D for R to prevent them from crashing into cars in parking lots and businesses.

Car comes with manual as standard. Why go to the effort of changing the interior for the auto?

Or just put it on the touchscreen.

>designing a different console for automatic and manual transmission

It's for ease of manufacturing you prissy little bitch.

no surprises here

What about the large number of vehicles that don't even have a manual option yet have console shifters? Like the new Jeep Grand Cherokee

Well that's just pathetic. Might as well call it the Jeep Grand Shopping Mall.

werent these types of shifters recalled because people mistook there car being in R or D and started crashing into shit? you know, because they are fucking stupid?
