Ugh, they are gross. I'm glad someone knew what it was

Any idea who the manufacturer is?

vehicle makes more sense after reading this

VPG Autos MV-1 Taxi will leave the light on for you - Autoblog
And not only is the MV-1 purpose-built for taxi duty, it was designed with the Americans with Disabilities Act in mind – the square-rigged design is built around a 56-inch by 36-inch door for wheelchair access, and VPG will fit MV-1s with either manual or power ramps as requested. The American-made, body-on-frame MV-1 will also be available powered by Compressed Natural Gas.

I had to Google QX50 to find out it was the EX

If anything, Infiniti should feel stupid for that naming system.

But congrats, Max! Looks clean. That's a great colour.

Thanks! The color is pretty much what sold her on it; it's called Midnight Garnet. After nine years, it was time for her to get something nice. Compared to the Highlander, this has leather/heated seats, intelligent key, auto climate, nav, Bluetooth, rear and around cameras, etc. My dad wants an M37x now (we still have a couple '13 models at the dealer I work at) since they are being advertised for $13k off MSRP.

Whoa, what in the shit... so is reverse not directly above 1st here? Looks like it's off to the left a bit. The only 2 cars I know of with 7-speed manuals are the Corvette and 911. And Chevy likes having reverse to the right and up. That doesn't look at all like a Porsche though.

To the left and up is sort of common for Reverse, BMW does it (335i and others) and so did the MKIV Supra, both have German 6-speed transmissions....

is this a clue..... it may be.... or it may not be.............

That knob looks cheap as hell, but I'm almost certain that it's an Aston Martin. Look at those buttons! Maybe the V12 Vantage S?

When I had my Audi TT, you had to push down, left then up. Was confusing at first!


Thats the new Aston!

The 1 to 2 shift would be a long throw. I like my setup where reverse is up and to the left (while holding up on the reverse lockout on the shifter), and a normal 1 3 5 on top and 2 4 6 on bottom.

The only car I've driven with a dog-leg like above was a Mercedes 190E 2.3-16.
Idea being that 1st is to start & you use 2-5 in an H-pattern. Or 2-7 in this case.
