Default THE SCION xB: THE OFFICIAL iPHONE AUTOMOBILE

...i chkd out rishio's topic
http://www.everythingiphone.com/forum/iphone-accessories/iphone-and-existing-car-audio-interface-398.html

..then i recalled the thread i posted (which was quite ironic)
http://www.iphoneforum.info/iphone-forum/viewtopic.php?t=1184&highlight=

...along with the reports about the 2008 scion's being ipod compatible...
Scion today announced that its entire 2008 lineup will come with standard iPod connectivity
http://www.macnn.com/articles/07/02/08/scion.ipod.integration/
A choice from three new head units will be available on all 2008 Scions. All sound systems feature six speakers and standard iPod connectivity.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scion_xB

...and based on its shape, i am convinced that the scion xb is THE official iphone automobile...

...what yall think...

Talk about pulling disparate pieces of information together to come up with a hair-brained, off the wall theory.

First Apple does not need any sort of co-branding with iPhone.

Second, if they did need co-branding it is unlikley to be in the form of an automobile.

Third, if they did need co-branding with an automobile (see points one and two) it would most likely be with a brand with whom Apple has worked with before like BMW or Saturn. My bet would be Saturn and specifically the Ion Redline since it fits iPhone's demographic. Actually I take that back as the Ion is getting discontinued. Probably be the Cobalt SS.

But seriously there ain't gonna be an iPhone official anything for quite some time. I mean Apple doesn't need it and dilluting the brand just doesn't make sence right now.

Yuck... I hope Apple customers are smarter than to buy a rebranded Cavalier.

Was wondering, do you own one; what do you based that observation on if you don't?

I have had one for a month now and lov it......
Teal, slush box, Nav System and the Ipod works like a charm and I am sure the IPhone will too after speaking with Apple rep.
