lol wow

Forget fleeces, backpacks and skiwear -- Fiat wants its name on the ultimate fashion accessory, the moblie phone. Starting this month, Fiat will offer a number of different cell phone models, including some that are MP3 compatible and take digital photos and video. Some of the phones are even 'waterproof' -- perfect for those who can't bear to catch a wave or two without phone access. The aluminum and blue finish boasts a high-tech look, while still drawing upon the ages-old Fiat logo, and the packaging draws upon the automaker's heritage as well -- the phone's sales packaging is a plastic tube designed to mimic the look of an an engine piston.

GM phone: Cheaply constructed exterior hides a great set of innards that if the buttons didn't constantly fall off, would be a world standard. Every successfull model is regularly killed off without explaination.

Ford phone: Has spiffy retro design features such as a rotary dial and has some amazing engines. However, the family plan models suffer from constant signal transmission failures.

Ferrari phone: Sleek, red, and lightweight. Has class leading lightning quick speed dial but only has room to store 9 phone numbers in total. Costs 4,000 dollars, if you're lucky enough to be allowed to buy one in the first place.

Toyota phone: An otherwise painfully bland phone, it comes with a 4 year "just try and smash it with a hammer, we'll buy you a new hammer" guarantee. It is also the only phone advertised to work from the bottom of a flushing toilet.

Mazda RX7 phone: Great idea, lightweight, and nearly as speedy as the Ferrari phone. However, it's built from balsa wood and you have to rebuild the circuitboard every 6 months.

BMW phone: First page of the user manual starts with "Thank you for purchasing the BMW mobile phone. Today marks the last day you will ever have to be considerate of your fellow human beings. Feel free to talk in line, etc"

Kia phone: Amazingly, someone found a way to make 2 cups and a string wireless.

Honda phone: Takes a minute and a half to connect a call, but is covered in type R stickers. The Honda phone has a devoted fan base complete with a slew of aftermarket accessories. The average Honda phone owner beleives his sticker antenna he bought on an infomercial makes his phone calls connect in 12 seconds.
