The nerve of someone to buy a computer not from Apple.

Anyway, I think that the Matrix looks like something out of 1998 or 1999. Minimalism is cool now; the Matrix ain't minimal.

Now if only Apple would do a major update to the Power Mac case.

I don't understand what those commercials are trying to do. It's like they are shouting out... "Look at this car, it's like nothing you have ever seen before... nothing!" Problem is, there are about 10 other models just like it. It's a compact stationwagon/hatchback, not anything original.

That guy on the phone could just yell out...

"Here comes the car, it's one of those stupid small stationwagons, only it looks all trendy now. Kind of like a Ford Focus or a million other cars. It's metallic green."

The guy would say OK, and shoot the guy. End of commercial. Same with that retarded robot commercial.

How about those strange Vibe commercials, with people essentially nodding their heads through the whole thing? The Vibe is the Pontiac version of the Matrix, I think.

Even the name "Vibe" doesn't cut it for me. Too close to "Vibrate".

Yeah, Vibe maybe close to vibrate, but in my opinion Ford's Probe has one the of worst car names ever. It reminds me of alien abductions, etc..........

There are plenty of "compact stationwagon/hatchbacks" but not a single one will be confused with the Matrix. It has a unique design. It reminds me of the old iMac. Sure, it's a dated looking design, but it's a unique one.

True, true- or the ever-so-understated "You will experience a momentary discomfort"
