it might just get something going.

I mean, I've got a wonderful Saab, and my friend G has oodles of money it doesn't always seem to know what to do with - seems like a marriage made in heaven.

Phones one day, cars the next - just bigger iron!

I heard that after the purchase was complete Google is going to spin Saab off as a seperate company and offer AdWords and AdSense clients first shot of the stock at the IPO.

Nah, Microsoft is going to buy SAAB.

You'll get random crashes for no apparent reason.
After a crash you will not need a garage, you just need to shut all windows, turn the power off and on and after 15 minutes staring at useless nonsense, you're good to go for another few miles.

You'll not actually own the car, it'll be licensed to you preventing you from selling it on. And the small print you'll have to accept every time you operate the car will actually remove all liability for the vendor and move it to the user instead.

And there will be no recalls anymore. It'll all be blamed on driver's error.
Since thieves will target these cars, insurance will be impossible to get and instead a new add-on market of anti-malware will emerge as well as monthly patches being distributed.
Even a brand new car will need to collect a bunch of patches before it's somewhat safe to operate.

The browser will be integrated into the car and be made very hard to remove.

The ultimate edition will feature virtual cars.

The headline got me to click on it ;)

How about a 'turbo' button to increase your rankings?

Most times you start your Google Car, the GPS will give you directions to the Wikipedia offices.

Only Google cars have hood ornaments that change for special events throughout the year.

New features will come out for existing cars, but you may or may not be invited to use them.

If you drive your car a lot, you might get a present from Google this time of year.

I've heard that IF you park your Car just for few hours in a "bad Neighbourhood" your license will get suspended.

The top part of the car will be constructed of "cloud" or two, instead of windows. And the right part of the windshield area will show "road signs" inviting you to comeback to where you were in the past 180 days or so.

The rear view mirror will show what other pasengers observed in your ride too, that will come as a standard feature!

The brand itself will be turned into "the greenest on earth" since all the old Fuel-Injection engines will be donated to Charity and NewBrand cars will simply run on Google-Aid fuel.

The pim'ped out models will come with YouTube players and will be banned in China on and off.

There will be an announcement of a "PATENT filed" that would sometimes make everybody wonder, and that is how we will know that a new and improve model coming to a GStore near U .The dealerships will be operated by droids, geeky-googy looking ones.

Once every 6 month there will be a new model introduced called G-AFF-BANGWAGON which in turn would create a new bread of affiliates who will commit the unthinkable after new model is in. Only some will keep the old Wagon and in a future will be considered Hippies(H will be replace at the day) .

Although the biggest turn off would be that the letter T in Turbo will be replaced by letter G.

They are working on a data center on the moon [google.com], no? And SAAB originates in the airplane industry. (Not pigeon related, though.) It all makes sense.
