So what production cars came with a Start Button prior to the S2000? Obviously race cars and aftermarket ricers have it, but were there cars that came with a start button from the factory (that weren't something like an F40 or ultra-exotic)?

^^ I don't even have to push the clutch! little off topic but I'll brag anyway 
I got rid of the clutch interlock and LOVE it! The best part is being able to start the car without getting in, highly recommended mod.

it's cool to have one but i think it's pretty pointless just like some of the bmw push starts...why would i turn the key then reach over and press a button? even the altimas have it better...just push the button and go.
i would still rather have the button than no button though lol

My uncle's 1960s Austin Healey Sprite has one. Pretty sure it has switches for fuel and ignition, too (been a while since I drove it). Starting that car is quite a procedure.

When I've spun racing, I definitely have to turn the key. Often it wouldn't even turn back on after the first try. At least on my AP1.

The S2000's start button is really more of a gimmick to make the car feel more race inspired. And modern day systems make sense to have a start button if there is no real key (keyless go). Other than that I can think of a reason why another car would have it.

This is what I was asking from post #1.
I agree with you tho about the turn key THEN push button. That's kinda dumb.
