        As terrible as the HVAC adjacent transmission is, at least there’s actual physical buttons & not a touch screen…

        Part of it is space savings or just making the interior more appealing.

        It’s not a “huge space” and the reason is because they’re significantly less expensive, more reliable, and easier to adjust and repair.
