Gear selector

Will the gear selector really be on the column for all models?

I guess the better question is, where do you select the gear? It's not the touch control thing is it? Is it like the jag where you push a button? If anybody has a pic they could share, I'd really appreciate it.

Its the stalk lever like the other Mercedes models mounted on the steering column, not a rotary knob like jag, nor push buttons.
