I test drove a CR on a Nissan lot last year. The salesman didn't know how to drive stick.........

My classic pickup (with a 3 speed column shift transmission) really confuses people!

I've had people not believe it's a stick (until I point out the presence of a third pedal). Then, there's the layout. Even though it's a simple H pattern, there's something about turning the H on it's side, and sticking it in the air that throws people off.

And, there's also that random foot switch to the left of the clutch.......
