Funny you should ask this.
I am looking for a car now.
I had a BMW 3 series. (I also had a great link for the iPod that replaces the CD jukebox, and displayed ID3 tags.)

Now I'm looking at the FJ cruiser and the Nissan Xterra.
I want something rugged.
But I like the Nissan more since it is also not too rugged.

I saw the Jeep Wrangler (I found it to be to slow) and Chevy TrailBlazer (I was worried about the resale value on it.)
Ironically, I grew up not far from those factories.
But the rules of the Dubai market apply.

If all fails, I might go with the VW Golf GTi. (I prefer it over the R32)
Any recommendations??

Looks like MAC Vs PC can be used to compare many things:

Japanese cars:

Mitsubishi (MAC) vs Honda (PC)
Nissan (MAC) vs Toyota (PC)

Cameras:

Nikon (MAC) vs Canon (PC)



The BMW M5's upto 2003 are great Manual Transmission cars. the latest ones are too technical...but I can get used to them..

I would have put Honda as a Mac car.
For me, Mitsubishi isn't that good, with the exception of the Evos and spiders.

I think Mac cars are:
Honda
Nissan
BMW
Porsche
Jeep
Saab

730, 745, or 750? Either way my dad (who is 54) drives a 745 so to me thats always been an old person car :-P
That's pretty Funny. Audi being the linux car! I have always driven audi. However there is no Audi dealer in Myrtle Beach. Nowadays I drive a Honda S2000 + with a sports exhaust and have also ripped and replaced the stereo (so I could get ipod integration) I have also ripped and replaced the speakers with something a little louder.

I shall return to the audi though.

Honda S2000.
A very nice car.

re iPod integration.
I've been seriously putting in a Mac Mini with a touch screen in the car.
How did u get the integration? Or did u just put in an iPod compatible headunit?
