Volkswagen/Apple iCar On Hold, Upper Middle Class Weep

If you've been looking forward to a possible Volkswagen + Apple car, or iCar, you'll have to wait slightly longer as talks between the two companies have just been put on hold. The bad news is that the exploratory talks are at an end, but the good news is that there were exploratory talks to begin with. VW fans and Apple fans overlap pretty well (picture a Venn Diagram with Batman on one circle and Bruce Wayne on the other), and will be willing to purchase any type of iCar that will eventually be sloshed forth from the combined loins.

Steve Jobs and VW Chairman Talk iCar

A Volkswagen spokesperson told German magazine Capital that an iCar may be on the way.

Corgi iCar Speakers For Digital Audio Players

Respected replica car maker Corgi has come out with the iCar, a tricked out set of speakers that's compatible with digital music players. What puts the "car" in "iCar" is the 1:24 scale model car. In addition to the sporty-looking car above, there's also an Escalade version, so you can pretend to be Jay-Z all over again. Once plugged in, the model jumps and tilts just like all those urban assault vehicles on the road. What's more, you don't really even have to plug in a digital music player: the iCar comes with is own set of tunes that it'll play in lieu of real music. There's enough lights and annoying sound effects to drive any man daffy. More »
