Lotus' (is that Lotai) have always had starter buttons. It's a race thing. If you spin and stall the car you can still push a big red start button with your gloves on. Considering the repeated accounts of losing the rear end on cold S02's maybe it's a good thing.

add the upcoming Focus RS as another car putting a start button in their cockpit. (April EVO magazine)
Everyone who's been in the car gets a kick out of the start button. Gimmicky for sure but I like it.

The Grumman Tiger also has a push button starter. Now I'm right at home when I fly it, since reaching for the button is a habit. They want you to start it on the left mag only though-- go figure.

Saw a post on the Miata boards about how to install the S2000 start button on Gen1 Miata's. Thought it was interesting.
