Heard an intersting segment on "Talking Cars" podcast. Apparently the new F150 has a folding gear shifter so one can fold it down to eat or work and then up again to drive. They described it as a better alternative to the push button shifter that Ford has used for other vehicles. The participants (this is a Consumers Reports podcast) suggested that Ford was listening to its F150 users who wanted a real gear shifter. Now if only the idiots who designed the bugs bunny/Edsel grills on the new 4 series and M3/M4 would only listen.......
