Interesting list......

Imagine if Apple made cars though, they would be overpriced but luxury, you would have to fill up at their garages only, could only drive to other Apple owned places and every time you had a fault, the dealer would tell you to do a reset of your apple idrive insisting that would cure it.

Bet they would look nice though

What about Louis Vuitton making cars or is that the Veyron

Macdonalds made cars, I think they make that Saxo with big motha exhaust and well lowered.

Budweiser cars, wonder how they would be....

Now if Audi made cars.........

Unrelated to this thread:

Yesterday, I was doing some work in town and saw a couple of the new Merc S Class cars. The paintwork was shocking. Talk about orange peel. I think Mercedes have re-invented this with a vengeance.

As for the A Class, they seem to be thrown together. The panel fit is pretty shocking on the few I came across.

We complain about our BMWs, but they are in another league and have a much higher standard of finish.

Comparing different industries is futile and not funny

I know what you mean. My colleague at work has a 2013 c class - the interior also feels a bit, dare I say, Vauxhally

I'd love it if Calsberg made cars!

They would also patent the concept of motorised transport using four wheels placed approximately in the corners of the device, and utilising an internal combustion engine (see Apple patent xxxx) or any other form of motive power.
Then sue all other motor manufacturers for infringement, and win.

Apple will use a nuclear power. They will build a mini reactor which they will update every 6 months as the previous one will need to be de-commissioned due to radiation.

Don't forget the legions of Apple drivers insisting that nothing ever goes wrong with their cars; they "just work." (Pay no attention to those bi-weekly visits to the Genius Garage.)

We might be having a good laugh about an iCar. I bet they will now go into the transportation business after they read our posts. The iCar will have nuclear power, drive and park itself, wash itself/ service/update itself and will work seamlessly with the iPhone/iPad/Apple Mac. In fact it will come with all these included in the price. I can't wait.

Can you imagine being caught having to reboot the engine just as the lights turn green?

Luckily Apple don't do Sat Nav, that would prove a problem.

The 'sorry sir, your car is out of warranty, you will need to purchase a new one'

Getting back to your car at the NCP and it's got a that little red circle on the top right hand of the windscreen, 7 updates needed, grr.

Going to fill up with petrol (at the Apple garage as you have no choice of course) and for no apparent reason, the tossers have changed the end of the fuel hose so it doesn't fit your car anymore. Progress apparently

By the way- I am sending all these insults from my iPhone - clearly a man of principle
