Well lets use apple inc. as a guide.... Well for the first 15 years he would overcharge you 300% for the car then tell you, you can only put iGas in your car.

Then when the stock hits rock bottom, he would fire(Employees) everyone, and buy-out(Exec's and Stockholder's) all the stock for himself, hire all 20 somethings and find out what they really want their car to do for them, so he'll create the iCar, it gets 157 mpg, and has a 600 horsepower 4 cylinder hybrid, however he'll sell it for $100,000 even though its made in China for $300. But you can now only get your iGas from iStations that charge $12.00 a gallon plus an annual fee of $300 just for being seen in their awesome new status symbol.

Then when everyone has one, they'll release the iTruck it does all the great things the iCar does but does it even better plus its got the awesome ability to carry all the $h!t you ever want. but the kicker is it costs $400,000 when it comes out!!! But dont worry it will drop to just $250,000 after all the hype is gone.

That just about sums up the basic plan, can I get a job at apple yet? I'll even send in a resume.

I own an iphone if that helps...

Man, that is funny! I own a MacBook Pro and lots of Apple devices, but you are totally right about how he would run a car company!

[ptack]

Yeah but I'd still rather have one than the Windows Vista car.

...but the iCar would be well made!

I think your saying apple locks you in?

you own an iphone and you dont know how to put your own drm free mp3's on it yet?

It's very easy

putting your own drm free apps on is a little harder, but most people can figure it out

don't forget, the car won't go backwards...

Kind of related, here's a pic I found that pretty much sums it up:
