Correct, I have not. But I also doubt Ford is intending to specifically copy the niche VW autostick from 50 years ago to appeal to such hypothetical customers. This is all getting a bit silly, we barely even have sedans and stations wagons anymore, we practically lost physical buttons and are stuck with privacy invading software, but somehow this silliness makes the cut?
Dude. If they’re trying, at least it’s an effort to have both worlds. It won’t happen on the first few gens. But if a visceral analog for shifting comes about, I’ll be happy.
As for the rest, I agree. I prefer analog and bare bones. I can fix my Porsche by myself. I can fix my Delica by myself. I only own cars I can work on. But I hold out hope that we can have both progress and driving enjoyment.
