iCar already exists

A recent post, as well as several other articles here and there, talk about a possible VW "iCar" in the future, a marriage of VW and Apple planning.

But an alert reader has pointed out that Mitsubishi already makes a vehicle called the iCar.

It's a very small, 660 cc engine, RWD, 4-door, 4-seat car made in Japan for the Far Eastern market, comparable in many ways to the SmartCar.

Last month the iCar disembarked in the UK, priced at around $17,000.

The "i" stands for an iPod nano docking station built into the central console. Insert your iPod and it's automatically married with the iCar's HDD-based satellite navigation system to simplify iPod operation.
