They'll use the column shifter to rival the ML's shifter?

LOL I would think that retaining a center-console shifter would be "defeating" the column shifter.

I hate it how they are installing all these cheap-looking Buick-style inventions like column shifters. What's next? A 3-man front bench like on old Chevy Caprice taxis?
