Apples are lifestyle kaisen, just like pcars...
They do some things very well, graphics for instance, music for another, handling in mountain roads. However, you are also buying into the cult of fruit... just like when you bought that pcar you were buying into the cult of Stuttgart.
I wouldn't trade any of my apples or my pcar for a lebaron (but, gosh, there is that velour upholstery
) . However, you like your lebaron Pavilion G7, that is fine... it gets you where you want to go.
