I also noticed that most all Jaguars now have the turn knob gear shift. Some of the spy shots seem to have the same. It might be the selector for off-roading, though. I drove the Jaguar with the knob shifter and I can't say I'm a huge fan. It does clean up that area a bit, but it seems like a useless piece of electronics. If they do the turn knob, that means there will be paddles on the steering wheel. Pretty silly for an off-road vehicle.
Is my speculation correct, or are they sticking with the manual shifter?
If they stick with the 8 speed gearbox that the current TDV6 has, it already has the gimmicky knob shifter.
