This seems pretty sweet!! An iCar!! Apple is heading discussions with VW and other auto makers to provide Apple products and functionality inside and built into your car!

The in-car system is being called: Sync and will allow drivers to use voice recognition to listen to your tunes and even have your phone's text messages read aloud to you while driving!!

sounds interesting. i think there are already many cars made big deal of being "ipod-compatible". While, what I like most is the picture. I would want to have such a cute car on my desk. I don't know whether I dare to drive it...

That would be a really awesome vehicle I’m sure if it ever makes it to the plant for manufacturing. Concept cars such as these often only see show room floors and constantly tease the automotive market. I found it odd how Microsoft and Ford were already teaming up. I wonder if Microsoft beat the scoop on Apple again or if in this situation Apple’s fighting back. I also like to see the globalization networking of an US electronics company working with a German automotive company. The competition will most likely produce a worthy product.
