What are some relatively modern cars that have column shifters?

Because column shifters are good, modern cars are good, and I would like one please.

Welp, Kinja won’t let me edit. I just wanted to say, by “cars” I mean cars specifically, not to include trucks/SUVs.

The crown vic (ended model year 2011) could be had column shift. Outside of trucks/SUVs I don’t know what else recently had them.

The last vehicle I remember with a column shifter was the 1980s/early 90s Fiat Ducato van. A 5 speed manual, if I'm not mistaken.

The Crown Vic is a truck.

Nope, pretty sure that’s a sedan.

Everything Tesla’s made except the original Roadster.

A fair amount of the Mercedes lineup (which is actually where the Model S (and X, but that’s a SUV) shifter comes from).

Most police cars still use a column shi fter, to free up room in the middle for their computers and shit. So you can still get one on the  Charger and Taurass

Well, I was going to mention that Impala up to 2011! If you’re lucky you’ll find one with a V8. Fuck them for killing off the front bench seat

Fuck Toyota for not keeping the front bench in the Avalon!

I think only select JDM cars still do use a front bench and column shifter

Does the Mercedes thing count? Not quite the traditional column shift, but possibly the 21st century update.

I would have said CRV, but that was me thinking 2006 was still recent.

If this is what you’re talking about, I’d take it. At least you don’t have the center console area taken up by a giant shifter for an auto.

Also, I’d stil consider 2006 modern, so you’re 2/2!

Now I’m angry they don’t put these on the civilian cars. It’s not like there’s a manual option for these.

I was thrilled to see the column shifter in the i3. I too am a fan of the column shifter.

Rolls-Royce:

Granted it’s just an oversized version of the Mercedes stalk.

Let it rust more, it will reveal the frame of a truck.

That’s it. On a rental I found it a bit awkward, but then I’d never used it before.

So you’re saying anything not unibody is automatically a truck now? Are unibody trucks cars, then? There were no cars made in the US until the 60s/70s/80s (depends on manufacturer)?

Mercedes uses them in their E- class and above.

HFV has no HFV. But somehow has 2 motorcycles > DC3 LS, Fuck Hyundai, now and forever 04/28/2019 at 15:54

I really like that in the GLC I rented a while ago. Altho I think drive should be up, and reverse should be down.

Not having a blocky shifter in the center console is great.

Some small Japanese domestic market cars still have column shifter coupled to auto box. Such as Toyota bB and Suzuki Lapin kei car.

Live rear axle, separate frame, poor handling, and general toughness... Yep, it’s a truck.

I don’t think those are exclusive, nor is your definition of a truck logical.

It’s a bad car because of it’s similarities with a truck, it’s basically a truck.

If you lower it and put a camper cover on top, then it’ s basically a vic wagon right?

Does the current Rolls-Royce Phantom count?

I mean I don't think it's a great car, but it is a car, you can't make claims like that just because it shares similarities to trucks, it shares much more similarities with cars.
