    First ive heard of the Commodore having it, i know some of the new BMW/Mini cars have it, and is a good system.

    The starter motor in these new cars uses very little energy so max fuel can be saved when switching the car on and off.

    Mazda have a pretty cool implementation that doesn't require a starter motor to restart the engine:
