MotorTrend Scoops the upcoming Apple Car.

Wait, that's not it...

1987 Blazer XT-1

For some reason, when I saw their photos, it was like looking back in time, and into an old Popular Mechanics.

Wow that's ugly.

If they actually go with something like that (and Motor Trend does not exactly have a good track record with predicting this kind of thing), then Steve Jobs will be rolling over in his grave. He drove an SL55...

Jony Ive actually spent some time studying automotive design, though he left because other students were "making vrooming noises" whilst drawing. Ive actually has a somewhat reasonable car collection, even if little or nothing would be GRM.

Apple Watch looks like a watch. The iPod had proportions similar to a walkman. The iOS had skeuomorphism in their apps for the first several years, so apps like Notes actually looked like a notebook. I have a feeling that, if Apple makes a car, it will look like a car.

Apparently Motor Trend did not scoop anything, they just made it all up.

I'd rock that.
