But with this silly push-button shifter, you can't just nudge it into Neutral if you have to (run-away throttle, for example).

LOL that was a very funny commercial, in regards to how lame it was.

Agreed with MPLexus301 and Blueprint

.

Lincoln definitely needs serious help.

I agree. Those zig-zag shifters, IMO, s**k.

I was just kidding. I know how you dislike them. I have two cars with them, different brands, and find them intuitive and easy to use.
