So basically, there's no more direct electrical linkage from the ignition switch to the starter motor, aka "start by wire".

It's probably what all push button start systems use; the next step in improvement from just preventing the starter motor from turning if the engine is already running.

FYI, there is also a picture of the new remote that confirms the earlier posting of the key which looks like the Mercedes transponder keys on the Dodge Grand Caravan site.

Exactly, the Crossfire has had this since it's debut in 2004. Stick in the key, twist to the right and let go. Starts all by itself. Pretty cool feature, screws me up going from the 2004 Crossfire to the 2006 300C though!
