Yeah, and we're discussing right triangles, so it fits right in. The right angle is between the horizontal plane which the steering wheel is on and the vertical plane which the shifter falls on. The hypotenuse is the line from 2 o'clock on the steering wheel to the shift ****.





I think I want a 3 on the tree...that would be schweet.

Ahhh...gotcha. I was going to draw in all of the planes and triangles, but I wanted some measurements first.

seen one of these Hondas today and it reminded me of this thread,lol



Didnt realize it was such a hot topic!

I will drive one and report on its shifter use. You wouldnt

go banging gears in one of these anyway.



And there are cupholders out the wazoo, in that pic you

can see some behind the ebrake handle. Along with a aux jack

for the radio for portable MP3 players and what not, 12v jack on the

passenger side, both with a place to actually lay down what you have plugged in. Fully reclining rear seats ( woohoo ) that look out the HUGE removable power sunroof, trust me the thing is user friendly.

Well it doesn't have cupholders where you would think they would be. Since the shifter is not in the regular place I figured the space would be used for cupholders.
