For a while I was considering getting an Acura TLX and I was looking forward to getting the push button gear selector.

I much prefer the BMW electronic shifter however.

I'd bet because if you're driving aggressively you can easily slam up or down gears quickly without looking for a shift lever, but wouldn't be able to with a knob or buttons.
