I love the puck design. I too think that the traditional looking one, like in the Focus and Volt, was for a time when you were mechanically moving something and needed the leverage. Today its all electronics.
I actually like the one in the Range Rover Evoque:

When you turn the car off it sinks back down into the console. But when the car is on it is raised and you just turn it like a dial.
I also saw another car that had buttons. One for P, R, N, D and you just pressed it and it lit up.
But with that said, I think the arm rest and center console could have been WAY more though out. Why such a tall console? Why no storage underneath (thinking Prius, Tesla, etc.)? Its not like there's something under there except a major waste of space.
