Sony and Honda agreed to make a car.


Guess Apple didn't get the deal with Honda.

Really though, this seems so odd to me that Computer/Electronics companies want to be in the car building business. How often do people buy cars? My youngest car right now is 16 years old with my oldest being 24 and not a classic. Is the goal really to showcase their name as rolling billboards or is there really enough profit to make it seem like a good plan?

Although Sony and Honda are companies that share many historical and cultural similarities, our areas of technological expertise are very different. Therefore, I believe this alliance which brings together the strengths of our two companies offers great possibilities for the future of mobility."
So we are getting a rolling Playstation/Carman?
