Yeah, and we're discussing right triangles, so it fits right in. The right angle is between the horizontal plane which the steering wheel is on and the vertical plane which the shifter falls on. The hypotenuse is the line from 2 o'clock on the steering wheel to the shift ****.





I think I want a 3 on the tree...that would be schweet.

 

sorry, I was just going by the red line drawing

 

Ahhh...gotcha. I was going to draw in all of the planes and triangles, but I wanted some measurements first.

 

that side view helped, I thought it was higher than that...not as bad as I thought

 

so the honda begs the question? whats the fun part of a trip? the journey or the destination? in a honda its the destination, in a real car its the journey

The journey is cool in an RX7

 

i dont even see a cupholder, "the staple for all cars."

i had no idea this topic would be this exciting!

seen one of these Hondas today and it reminded me of this thread,lol



Didnt realize it was such a hot topic!

I will drive one and report on its shifter use. You wouldnt

go banging gears in one of these anyway.



And there are cupholders out the wazoo, in that pic you

can see some behind the ebrake handle. Along with a aux jack

for the radio for portable MP3 players and what not, 12v jack on the

passenger side, both with a place to actually lay down what you have plugged in. Fully reclining rear seats ( woohoo ) that look out the HUGE removable power sunroof, trust me the thing is user friendly.

 

That is how mazda almost went under, its called platform sharing. Us good old americans invented it in the 1940s

 

Well it doesn't have cupholders where you would think they would be. Since the shifter is not in the regular place I figured the space would be used for cupholders.
