Title: Steve Jobs wanted to produce an iCar Post by: Black Diamond Vol on May 18, 2012, 02:46:39 EDT I imagine it would've been a 2.0L 4 cylinder and cost about 85 grand, but with some bitchin' cabin tech. :wave:

But, damn it would have turned the industry on it's head and given us a much better product at a cheaper cost in the long run. (I want one! :bowrofl:) G Title: Re: Steve Jobs wanted to produce an iCar Post by: Volznut on May 18, 2012, 05:02:23 EDT Google already has the google car. Drives itself. KITT is real

There's too much tech crap in cars for me. When I ordered my BMW I did not get nav, iDrive (computer controlling different functions) or bluetooth. Even then, it has a computer control that you have to get into to set certain things. I wouldn't even get automatic heat/ac if it wasn't standard.
I don't mind tech improvements to the engine and drivetrain. But I really don't need all that other stuff inside the cabin. :old: However, I did get the heated seats and heated steering wheel. I scoffed at it at first, but you don't know what you're missing until you have a heated steering wheel in the winter. :biggrin: Title: Re: Steve Jobs wanted to produce an iCar Post by: Volznut on May 18, 2012, 04:22:46 EDT Well, I'll be the contrarian here.
