There's a hidden keyhole on the outside of the car so you can unlock it manually. Same with the inside, you can still put the key in and start it normally, keyless ignition is just a cool "extra".

oooh, fuzzy feeling returns.. Wasn't there supposed to be something with OLED(LCD?)s in the C6?

There's a center console LCD screen, I think for the radio. The one I saw had "Corvette" with the crossed flags displayed on it. I couldn't tell if it was an OLED or not, this months Motor Trend has some good photos.

Another bit on the keyless ignition. It'll be standard, and on the manual transmission model, you have to put it into "Reverse" to shut the car off. I'm not sure how much I'd like that, like most of the gadgets I have, I'd probably use keyless ignition once and get bored with it
