Looks nice to me.
I think its funny that all the luxury companies are big on showing us the "start" button. You would think that they were they only one that has that.
I think Microsoft was the first to show us the start button

I do believe that Mercedes was the first automaker to use the push button starting. I seem to recall an old Mercedes (and by old I mean like 60's or 70's) Mercedes that could be started with the push of a button. I could be mistaken, but I if I recall correctly you still had to put the key in and the actual firing of the engine was done by the start button.
I did a qucik google search and it looks like the original Mini's had push button starters until they were replaced with Keys in 1961.
