Isn't that our "Engine Start" button?

I like how everybody like Nissan and any other car company with "Engine Start" buttons puts them on the right side of the steering wheel just above the key. Our is on the left so that should you stall or spin, you can start the car with your left hand while you shift into 1st with your right.
Ha ha, then you wont have a hand on the wheel

You don't need a hand on the wheel, you need to get the car started.

I find it interesting because they tried really hard to use only American components in the SSC Areo. They didn't even use Carbon brake rotors, only to use American made rotors (iron).

But then, they used a Japanese start button... funny...

x2. Why do you need a hand on the wheel of a non-moving vehicle.

did Honda find the button somewhere also...? or did they make it...? if they did make it, can't they do something about other auto makers using their button?

It resembles a diablo and looks like a kit car. It may be faster than everything, but I would rather buy most any other supercar.

I agree. I think Jay is just being polite. Using the S2000 start button doesn't help either.

why spend alot of money developing a unique starter button when you can raid the parts bin of other manufacturers (that build on a economy of scale) so you can spend the extra money on other parts!
