dude its for real. look up push button start and you will see one with a push button start next to the shifter. i believe its blackpearls

yup black pearl has a car like that and yes its dash mounted kinda crazy man<IMG src=smileys/smiley2.gif border="0">

The Japanesesurely knowshow to make their caraccessories stand apart from the competition.

H3ll yeah! It's the main thing that attracted me to the new SI. It's so underappreciated by the auto mags, it's an amazing car, and selling way below sticker in my area, CT. A little lacking in torque, but made up in ride comfort and handling...and the kick a5s shifter! So smooth, too. The push start is an add on, but it fits perfect in the round cut-out...

Sweet, u guys are making me hate my Rolla already... and Ive only been here like 2 days!

yeah that shifter location is supposed to be optimum says honda. i personally dont like it, but then again technology has yet to catch up to me<IMG src=smileys/smiley3.gif border="0">

i thik that honda should go back to the original style for the shifter, when i bought my 03 civic the salemen was trying to get me to buuy the Si i told him that i didn't want an Si for the simple fact that i didn't like where the shifter was. He also said that it was a better shift and that it also was the rally shifter

u mean rally style shifter?

A rally civic??

Im not into anything having to do with racing against EVOs and Imprezas, if u know what I mean.

I won't be competing with any of those calibur cars, but I did smoke a 90's Escort with a huge aluminum wing, rims, and a coffee can exhaust the other day! Hey, it sounded nice...and automatic...<IMG src=smileys/smiley9.gif border="0">

If its got a huge aluminum wing... odds are there is nothing under the hood but an intake<IMG src=smileys/smiley2.gif border="0"></P>


They dont look good on too many cars!</P>

idk that dealer is on crack i mean it could have a dog something shifter they use on rally cars but em NO<IMG src=smileys/smiley2.gif border="0">

i think that the guys with the big aluminum wings that stick past the top of the car aremaking up the difference for something else if you know what i mean lol<IMG src=smileys/smiley4.gif border="0">

small pistons??</P>


</P>


</P>

no not small pistons

i mean honestly the thing doesn't work unless if your road raciong at high speeds and what civic is going to road race (not drag race) on the street at 95 to 100 miles an hour</P>
