if you r diving your ls forward would the car be smart enough to not shift in to reverse if you accidentally put the shifter into reverse? i know this sounds stupid but i have a friend that has a 2008 or 2009 Malibu and some how he did this and the car went into reverse. talking with him i was like how can a new car be so stupid to let its self do that. the trans is fly by wire there is a box at the shifter and one at the trans so the computer let this happen. i called is car dumb and then he was like O so your Lincoln wouldn't do that. i told him it wouldn't but now im thinking would it or wouldn't it. im not going to go put my car in reverse when going forward to find out but i would hope that it would be smart enough not to let its self do it. sorry for such a dumb post its just one of them things were i have to know now.
