How absolutely boring. Guess the car.
I remember the first push-button starter I ever saw, it was in an S2000. It was something special. It helped make the car interesting. It looked badass and seemed like it came from the future, or straight out of a race car. Only a special car would have an ignition like that. But now that they have become commonplace in everything from a sedan to a pickup, the inevitable has happened: they have become blah. No more exciting a feature than intermittent wipers.
This is the worst offender I have seen cosmetically. I got in the car and literally couldn't find it because I thought it was part of the HVAC controls. Horrible.

My ignition is more interesting
Not my car, but I also start mine with a screwdriver

To be honest, I wanted to take a screwdriver to the start button in an S2K. WHY DO I NEED TO USE A FREAKING KEY?!

It is a GM....I can say that much.
The lock unlock button on the dash is new on those now.
Buick?
HFV has no HFV. But somehow has 2 motorcycles

Ding ding ding! Regal. And I actually really like these cars otherwise.

I totally second everything said in this post. I thought the S2K was badass for having a push button ignition. Then everything copied it.

It's like they WANT you to bump it when reaching for one of the many other buttons cluttering up that center stack.

I just got a ride home in a regal, it didn't have the pushbutton though. I think. I've had 4 beers.

I kind of like it actually. I've always liked the idea of having a starter button that was hidden or disguised as another button so only I could start it.

It's not a new Regal. The 2014 Regals have a totally new center dash.

Oh! Given I drive a GM with a broken rear defrost, I was thinking it was going to be "another broken button"
