Sjećam se te epizode, ali sve je brzo utihnulo nakon što su mnogi izvrijeđali (i ja ih podržavam!) uopće mogućnost takve ideje da se Apple veže uz samo jednu marku i to još nekog toliko lošeg poput VW-a.
Na Mac forumu je tada krenula lavina...
"VW is a crappy car overall lately, I wish Apple would cooperate with someone a bit better."
"Can VW improve the quality of their cars to make it a worthy purchase? Consumer Reports has lately been showing VW towards the bottom of the quality list."
"Volkswagen? Crap company making crappy cars."
"I'm about to get rid of a 2000 Passat that has had no end of problems. Every time we take it in for a routine oil change, inspection, or whatever, we end up with a $700-plus repair bill. The killer was the most recent one: the check engine light came on, and the repair shop says it's a $2500 replacement of the catalytic converters. Within the next couple weeks I'll be buying a Toyota or Honda."
"VW is like the Gateway of cars. Toyota is more like the Apple, but even that's really stretching it."
"I'm surprised that no one has mentioned the fact that VW might pull its operations out of North America entirely because of poor business."
"Actually, VW has gone after the Gay market in the US."
"Oh dear, it seems that VW does not enjoy the best reputation in the US."
