While the "backward" shifter may look awkward to the uninitiated, it actually makes shifting much easier than it would otherwise be if it were installed "normally" or with a straight up and down lever. With the reversed shift lever, the shift ball is located where your hand naturally drops when you remove it from the steering wheel and the shifter motion is quite natural. It made sense 40 years ago and it still does.
