And, while you're at it, column shifted automatics. berkeley yeah, yes please. 

The only compelling reason to bring back column-shifted automatics is to facilitate the return of the bench seat, which would be a boon to road head aficionados everywhere.

Technically, the best selling car in the world is a column shift auto :) Teslas use a column stalk to select PRND.

I cannot comment on any possible benefits.

I swapped my last S10 bench for buckets because racecar. The current truck is staying the way it is. The vinyl flooring will be replaced with carpet, and the bench will be reupholstered. And that's the way it is.

Many many Mercedes have a column mounted shifter, or transmission switch, whatever you want to call it.

The only good thing about bench seats is that  when I drive my old F150 my dog inevitably ends up pressed against me, and that's a very good feeling. I guess that there's another good thing about bench seats, but that hasn't happened to me in 40 years.
