I always thought this was the stupidest looking console/shifter. Here's a zoomed out photo.

I'm a huge Ferrari fan.

And I dislike that shifter too. I dunno if I would call it full retard design, but there were better ways to design it.

Tough to feel real macho and manly when you need a magnifying glass to find your shifter.

Yeah, it kind of bothers me also. It looks kind of fragile and cheap, in a way. There's a good solution to this problem though, buy one with this instead:

agreed. the manual was the better looking shifter, the more reliable shifter, and the GATED shifter.

If Ferrari did that on purpose to make auto drivers feel emasculated, I might feel better about it.
