    This is a repost.

    Threadjack: Does anyone else think the Gen3 shifter is bass-ackwards and counter intuitive? Forward should be drive and back should be reverse?

    3 out of 3 folks who had driven a (mine) Prius for the first time all said the same thing. Starting from neutral, most manual transmissions are up/forward for the first forward gear and back and down for reverse. Even floor shift automatics are back for R.

    I would think this is not that big of a deal on the dash mounted shifter generations.

    My last manual was a six speed, so 1st was left and up, and reverse was far right and up.
