That's actually another of the reasons why I like it best. Along with the continuation of the "spine" through it.

All my previous cars had a leather shift **** that had no real visual association to the rest of the interior, so changing those didn't change the theme. This is not the case with the Crossfire. In fact, I don't know of ANY other car that has the unique feature of a truly matching shift ****.

But this is just my opinion. I have no problem with anyone that feels otherwise. To each, their own.
