Mitsubishi iCar Gets iPod-Ready

Inspired by Apple's iconic media player, Japanese automakers created the Mitsubishi iCar Play Edition, which does not only resemble the famous iPod but is also fully compatible with it. At least, The Register says, iPod nano fits it perfectly.



The Mitsubishi iCar Play Edition features a central console that has a built-in docking station for the iPod nano. Plug it in, and the player gets automatically married with iCar's HDD-based satellite navigation system so the driver has no problems operating his/her nano.

Arstechnica additionally reports that Mitsubishi plans to sell the iCar Play Edition from roughly $14,000 to $15,000. For this money you will get a 0.66-liter, 12-valve, three-cylinder DOHC engine with a manual gearbox. Not really impressive.
