I don't think so... ColorWare paint jobs have always seemed, well, rather cheap to me. My friend got a red one. It looks like a home spraypaint job. There are spots that were missed around the buttons, and overall inconsistent paint thickness. It doesn't look terrible, but it doesn't look great either.jacg said:

Limited Edition Black iPods?

I believe it was Mazda who owned a chunk of Kia then Ford acquired this chunk when they bought 50% of Mazda.
Also, VW does own Audi though they might be "officially seperate" for the purpose of selling in the US. (I know this because they say it all the time on a show in the UK called "Top Gear"). They don't own Porsche but I read that there were very close ties between all companies (sharing managers or something) so they share a lot of parts etc.
The motor industry is crazy, I like the fact that Renault owns a huge part of Nissan and Nissan owns 14% of Renault. What's the point in that?!
Anyway, nothing to do with a black iPod.

zero7 is the issue
The group zero7 with the re-mix HOME is a free download on the
site as are other less important songs.
HOME is the best Techno re-mix in the last 5 years.....download it to
your ipod and play it during your workout at the gym or on a bicycle
trek or running.

Nope, King James English.
Back *on-topic* did anyone end up winning one of these black iPods????
Just had a look in at the black iPod and could anything possibly be more cheap, nasty and tacky looking? The iPod (white) is a thing of beauty and this botch job looks like my (ned of a) brother got hold of it whilst holding a can of spray paint.

audi is vw's luxury brand
The VW/Audi relationship is not a hard thing to explain. They are the same company. Audi is luxury arm of VW the same way Lexus makes luxury Toyotas and Accord makes luxury Hondas. Same company. Porsche is not the same company although there are working relationships and they often use the same parts, etc. In the old days VW/Audi and Porsche were all imported to the US by the same importer, called VW of america. There are also historical relationships between the car makers themselves, most famously that Ferdinand Porsche designed the original VW beetle and that these mechanics were integral to the Porsche 356 and later 911s.
As far as the VW/Audi relationship... it's a hard thing to explain. In the U.S. we have laws against companies operating or working in ways that can be deemed as a conflict of interest. VW and Audi and Porsche all have had historically splendid relationships with one another and have at time shared technologies/platforms/componentry between the 3. Neither is officially owned by the other although I believe VW/Audi has a partnership in stocks shared between the brands and have stronger ties than Porsche who just has shared the occasional platform (Cayenne/Touareg, 914).[/QUOTE]

Not exactly. Audi was a car company (NSU/Auto Union) before it was part of VW, unlike Acura and Lexus and Infiniti which were all created in the U.S.A. to market plain old cars as more expensive models to a sheepy public.
