Les, BMW's are like this too, my dad has a newerish X5 and it is the same thing, there is a stick but it has buttons on it as well. I hate it with a passion.
I rent cars a lot and it sometimes takes me a moment to figure out something that should be easy.
One of the reasons I love my 200 series LC is because it has an actual shifter in it.
