The spin on the C-GT shifter position is that it falls to the hand better way up high . Maybe so, but it reminds me of recent Toyota minivans . Ergonomically, it doesn't make sense . Instead of shifting with your right shoulder quiet at your side and your elbow at 90 degrees with the lower knob , some drivers will have to constantly lift their shoulder away from the body and suspend the elbow to shift -it could get tiring in certain situations.
