If you don't need the key though, why not hide it and prevent scratches/snags?

The only reason I bring it up is because of the numerous RL bashers that claimed having to turn a knob was less luxurious than pushing a button, and thus, the RL is inferior to it's competition.

What is an F car all about? Feelings. Sensations being fulfilled...tactile, auditory, visual.
I think turning a key is a tiny tactile joy in a car. Feeling the starter pull and the motor roar to life is a kick to me.
Pushing a button is as sterile and cold as a doctors exam table. 
Just my opinion. Turning a key is not a chore to me.

I've always wanted push start...probably cause I don't have it. Like with most amenities, once you get used to having it, you get used to it and then wonder why you cared to begin with.
Although that is not true in the case of my DVR. I need that...need it bad.

Sure you put the key in your pocket and just hop in the car, press on the brake and push a button. But then you need to dig in your fucking pants to lock the door.. it's annoying. Whereas having the key in your hand already from removing from it from the ignition, locking and putting your keys in your pocket is natural.

^^^Right...I agree. At one point, was like...gotta have ventilated seats and auto up/down on all 4 windows and push start on my next car.
Can I absolutely live without it...yep.

It's funny how stuff which would be criticized in a 20k car, like fake exhausts, engines which catch on fire, no push button start, and Jeep Wrangler nav, dont matter on a Ferrari. I'm not saying I care about these things its just funny

Oh wait it is push to start. Forget that part. Why did they put that on the wheel?

Lol, maybe if I'm bored tonight, I'll do it. I assure you that my '08 Infiniti does indeed beep when the button on the door handle is pressed to lock.

It's one thing to not need a key. I guess it's a cool little novelty...pushing a button to start a car. But, the question of an F car with a key boggles my mind. What is scratched with a key...the ignition key hole?

What can get scratched? Whatever is in your pocket with your keys?

That doesn't seem to be a problem with my car. 
until we got them in '09. 
, but sensors here. Mine does.
