I prefer the key, because it's one motion. Put the key in and turn it.

With the button, you put the key in, turn it, then push the start engine button?

I'm a lazy bastard :D

what if there was no key?
look at images below

http://images.rotarynews.com/images/...ascii24-08.jpg

they show a slot for something like a credit card.

but how would u open the doors then. regular key? that would definitely suck, a key for the door and card for the iginition
plus the extra cost

no wonder they dropped the idea

this is from 2001!
RX-8 is also certain to be offered with several tiers of performance following its 2002/3 launch, including an entry level inline four-cylinder and turbocharged versions of the standard 184kW "Renesis" rotary engine.
there will not be an inline 4 for the rx8! and the artist conception of the mps626(!) is laughable :D
