I agree with purple simon...
it does cement the idea that your car takes 5-6 button pushes to get started..
and some of the clickeratzi might claim "it gets you to interact with the banner!". But so do the "Punch the Monkey" ads...
and the fact that the text only has 6 clever statements is lame.. seems you could have gone the extra mile and added a ton of them so that users could keep clicking and keep getting differnet taunts.
I don't agree. To me the banner says that you want to keep driving this car again and again. I think that having the text repeat at some point makes the user realize that and then think 'what' then you read the banner and it says 'push button ignition' that's then it clicked for me.
besides, no one would advertise that it takes multiple attempts to start their car. so even thinking that just seems ridiculous. not just because no one would advertise that, but also because it's not really saying that very strongly.
How can one resist? :-)

Hmmm, this says to me it takes several attempts to start a Nissan Altima.
