They're B&M Racing and this is what we're talking about:
B&M shifter
I still think it looks horrible. It's a joke compared to the tiptronic shifters out there today.
That thing ain't comin' anywhere near my car unless they change that look, or at least make it easyto replace the stick and ****

I have to agree and I bet it doesnt sell very good because of that so then they will misinterpret the lack of interest in the lolypop for lack of interest in a good auto shifter that you can put in your car without being emabbarassed by it.

I had an autoshifter in my Nissan Altima. It was terrible. Too much hesistation.
Knowing fords hesitation issues with the dbw system, I dont count on the autoshifter being too spectacular.
