Column Mounted Shifters
Discussion
Just a post of curiosity really.... I watch a lot of movies and the column-mounted shifter appears in many of them. Obviously these being Hollywood films.
I've driven for a few years now (okay, nearly a decade) and been in all sorts of vehicles of all sorts of age and price but I've never encountered a column-mounted shifter.
I was just wondering are they that common in the states, are they still popular? They seem like an awful idea to me, but I suppose you'd get used to them...

Why is everyone commenting about automatic gearboxes when the OP has asked a question about (manual) column shifts?
Actually I was interested in column shifts in general, they seem quite novel. Didn't know the new 7 had one - I thought it was either a traditional auto stick or a rotary dial a la JagGassing Station | General Gassing | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
