These cars will start even if you let go of the key prematurely . Does it get any easier or more practical than that ?

So, in 1940 they had cars that could let you unlock the door by sensing that you had a key in your pocket, get in the car and push a button without ever touching a key because it sensed the key was in your pocket?

Wow. We're finally catching up with those sneaky Nazis.........

Buy a mini cooper or car that has push button to start, dont take muscles to turn a key.

Ok..... maybe it's ME that is misinterpereting this.

The coolness of the feature has nothing to do with pushing a button, OR not turning a key.

The coolness of the feature is to never have to touch the key. Just walk up to the locked car, touch the handle and it unlocks and opens at the same time. Then, get in the car and push the button. Never having to even reach for a key.

Yes, it's not hard to reach in your pocket for your keys. But neither is getting off your ass to change the channel on the TV, but you aren't buying a TV with no remote capability.

It's just cool. NEVER look for your keys again.

yeah i was kind of shocked that wasnt a feature on this car. my 2006 IS350 and 2006 m35 had that feature and I loved it. never took the keys out of my pocket. also a cool feature is that the car wont lock if the keys fell out your pocket into the car.

you have a point there.

In a few of my 40s cars I had the starter activated with the accelerator pedal. This was before the button was introduced (you still needed the key turned to activate either one) Yes, I sure wish GM would come back with the pedal start.

I've always wondered what new 'vette owners do when at car shows. If you're sitting near the car all day it's "on" and draining the battery. Also the 'vettes have no key hole in the door(s), if the battery goes dead you have to unlock the hatch by the keyhole just above the license plate and then reach way in and pull a release to get the door open.
Remember once at a Camaro club meet, a member and his wife show up in a new vette. After the meeting when shooting the bull he walks away from the car and sets something down (his keys), walks back to the car looks inside. Walks back over picks them up and goes way across the shop and sets them down, goes back to the car looks inside with this confused look on his face. His wife asked him what was wrong. He said "the car is still on, it won't shut off????" She then says "Well my purse is inside with my keys in it, is that why?" He literally does the palm to the forehead thing.

So we have some 'vette owners here, what do you do if you take it to a car show? Can you disable this feature? Do you have to worry about your battery draining?

If I did have a new Camaro, sure would be a shame to not use that cool switchblade key.

I guess I'm old fashioned for a 23 year old but I'm kinda glad my Camaro won't have push button start. It definitely should be available as an option for those who want it.. I mean, the car hits almost $45k. But in my mind I'd rather turn a key to start the engine. There's just something about it that I like. And what happens if the push button start system fails? Or the car doesn't recognize the key? Then you use a standard backup key anyway...

Hmmm...

Odd. Bonnies never turned 'On' and still doesn't in her Vette. Never had that problem.

I'm definitely not against it...

But it's not important enough for me to see it as a negative where the car is concerned. If it's added, cool. If not, cool - I still get to have fun playing with the switchblade fob.
