Woman Drives New GMC. Then She Sees The New Gearshift: ‘This Is So Much Worse'

A woman driving a GMC Acadia was caught off guard by a gear selector that looked nothing like the shifter she was used to.

TikTok user @datweebangel recorded herself discovering that the Acadia uses buttons and switches on the dashboard to shift between park, reverse, neutral, and drive.

“I thought a knobby PRINDL was the worst thing I had ever witnessed, but whatever this is is so much worse,” she says, describing the gear selector as “pushy.”

Instead of moving a traditional lever, the driver presses or pulls individual controls to select a gear. But @datweebangel says she was not impressed.

“What is this? Why are we like this?” she asks.
