You know they should get rid of the automatic shifter lever that shifts straight up and down. Lots of other car makers have blocks in the shifter. I don't know how to explain it, like the Mazda3, so you can shift it to park and drive without looking down to make sure you didn't skip a gear. And maybe place it out of kicking area. I've had times when someone kicked their knees into the shifter and put it in neutral while driving.
Anyone check out the latest pictures of the next gen.
