Apple Macintosh is to computer as ________ is to cars


So Steve and I were having a debate. I say Macs are like Volkswagens (because of their look, the market they appeal to to, their advertising feel, features and aesthetics).

Steve says that Macs are like Subaru (because love makes a Subaru a Subaru).

What do you think?


I mean honestly, what Volkswagen driver does not either (a) own a mac or (b) secretly wish they owned a mac and vise versa with mac owners about their love for the German auto maker....(also in a related note gross stereotypes (mainly aimed at Mac and VW owners) have been applied in this article)
