  1. I would expect the VW floor shift to be inferior to a contemporary conventionally-engineered car (Morris Minor, Volvo PV etc) with floor shift sprouting directly from the transmission entirely without a linkage, and the worn column shift in the DKW superior to a similarly worn setup in an American car whose manual column linkages were generally produced from 1938-era tooling to the end and accused of being intentionally bad to punish the cheapskates who didn't buy an automatic!
