Start button in production version?
Just wondering if any word on the start button still on for the production version or has that been scrapped?

Everyone I know that builds there own cars (dragcars, stockcars, dunebuggies, etc) uses a push button starter. I am amazed how people that live in an office can miss stuff like this.

Drag cars, stock cars, dune buggies don't need keys because they are locked up when they are not in use. Not just left in a mall parking lot.
I think they used a key to help keep the cost down and maybe even save a little weight. Its one of those features I expect to appear in a refresh in a couple years. I personally really like it, I rented a Nissan with the push button, and it makes it feel like the car 'knows' you.

My 08 Altima has a Push Start button system and I LOVE IT. It's so convenient but from what I have been reading is that Camaro will have REmote Start. Thats Going to be so AWSOME !!!

I like this, yet it's disappointing at the same time.
If they are going to use a key are they at least going to make it impossible to open other people's car with your key?

I never understood why everyone is so enamoured with the push button start.

Just another techno-marvel. Push button is nice so you dont have to ever take your key out of your pocket.
Someone with push button can walk up to thier car, open it, sit down, and push the button and go, never having to remove the key from thier pockets.
