Yeah, but even that's sort of an illusion. The console in a miata comes
about up to your elbow. If you made a tall console to go around the shifter
the SE-R lever would look like that too :). The real benefit is in the
reduced throws. If the knob were down on the floor it might actually make
shifting a little more difficult because the knob is so far away from you.
Witness the new Civic Si with the shifter sticking out of the dash - it's
high, but that puts it within easy reach.
