I see guys (F150 owners) complain about the rotary shifter all the time. Honestly it's the only way to have it. It frees up so much space in the console. I'm just gonna laugh when the F150's switch to the rotary shifter and all their owners talk about how great it is to have all that space freed up.
Once you get past it being "different", it really makes a lot of sense.
It's basically an extension of push button 4WD.
