Most cars now. Hondas used to use rods, then changed to cables I believe. My Eclipse had cables too.

Forgive my newbiness, but I actually kinda thought RWD cars typically had neither? I thought cables and rods were for FWD cars where the transmission was up front and needed a "remote" way to shift it... and RWD cars typically had a shifter more or less IN the transmission itself (mounted below you)?
