They supposedly are, but Chevy definitely isn't. Still, if they can sell iPhones at WalMart, it points out how artificial the distinctions are.wait, I thought apple was a premium company?
My 2012 Equinox begs to differ. It has the "premium" pioneer sound system in it and it does nothing but refuse to recognize my iPhone (often while changing or listening to songs) and sometimes won't even connect to my phone at all. It pops and crackles and distorts audio when scrolling through artists and songs as well. The system in my Altima is flawless by comparison. A friend of mine does have a Spark though and the bluetooth audio streaming and interface is quite nice, especially for such a cheap car. I just can't for the life of me understand how Chevy can ship a vehicle twice as expensive with technology that's so crippled and flawed in comparison.I doubt it.
And for those of you who don't follow this sort of thing, modern Chevys are surprisingly sophisticated.
Anyone who knows about the state of the modern motor industry knows this means nothing. Ford and GM are soaring up the rankings with their offerings.

makes my belief all the more relevant.
I would rather walk 12 miles through a snow storm than drive either of those cars.

anyone know if bmw plans to roll this in? They support iPhone pretty well.
Apparently GM has run out of names for their cheap cars. Spark and Sonic? Are they serious? Those are better than trying to sell the No-Va in Latin America but not by much.
Other great GM names that turned out to be mostly prophetic of failure:
No-Va GM spent millions advertising this in Latin America
Citation Plagued by bugs which probably saved many lives
Chevette plastic gears in the tranny sounded great as they ground to bits
Chevelle
Corsica (See Beretta)
Beretta (see Corsica)
Catera "Great European Styling" by a team clearly pissed off at GM
Aztek - a car so ugly that one warms to the toilet seat grille of the Edsel
LaCrosse (ask anyone in Quebec)
Fiero - plastic cars, known to catch fire.
6000SUX (just wanted to see who remembers the movie)
Impact (Johnny Carson said the next model would be called the 10 car collision)
Lumina
Cavalier
Corvair unsafe at any speed
Monza
Vega unsleeved aluminum engine, good for 20k, 40k if you added Motor Honey
Allante
And....(drum roll, please), the worst thing ever belched out of GM, The Cadillac Cimarron, a Chevy Cavalier with Caddy badging.
Hrmm.... What about the Volt. It comes with myLink. Hopefully they just neglected to mention it.
awww... What about FORD?

I hope it works better there than it does on iOS.
