Most semi-trucks have pushbutton starter switches. I have to start ours at work quite often. I guess I never considered that cool or glamorous.
I must be getting old. I don't see the allure.

Inferno is in hibernation with all this annoying white stuff on the ground - I'll get a pic tonight and post it.
I do have a pic of the box when I bought it (yes, I'm sad ) and I'll post that too. Mine is just red - no Engine Start lettering. I was going to get the lighted one, but decided that it would be OTT even for me .
The box does have Type R on it though

I think the push button start on the C6 is a novelty. 
You have to have the FOB with you all the time and there is no key what so ever.
Wait until the bat in the FOB wears out and the owner is somewheres where they can't get a new one.
May sound strange, but I like the security of a key.
