Meet the 2020 Apple iMaybe - Car & Driver's speculative mini-ute [Auto Styling News]

"Google the word 'Apple' and a link to the fruit we've consumed for thousands of years doesn't appear until page four." - that's Car and Driver magazine in its May, 2016 issue, preparing to describe it's speculative (and completely fictional, for now) 2020 Apple iMaybe mini-Ute.

The completely automated vehicle, which the magazine speculates would be built by BMW, would be heavily connected to the internet, via your iPhone 12, of course.

While it may take Apple some getting used to collaborating with another company (something C&D correctly notes it's never done before) the draw of the Apple name may not only be golden to consumers' ears, but also be like a steel girder to the magnet of their wallets.

The magazine again speculates that the cost of this mini-Ute could be north of $30,000, and wouldn't make an appearance until the 2020 model year.
