Maybe so you have to make a conscious decision to shift into a particular
gear and not accidentally knock the shift to another gear. Personally I
like the look.

the shift gate makes perfect sense in an auto-stick
like the TL, so you can shift manualy without confusion.
also no button.
but can be a nuisance otherwise, like when you try to throw
it back in park and push straight up to R without moving around
it. takes some getting used to.
