If computers were made by car manufacturers, who would be making the Amiga, Pegasos and PC respectfully? Is the PC a Lada or one of those Soviet cars? ;)

In reply to Comment 9 (Anonymous):
Finally, an answer that applies some actual knowledge of the auto market! Well done.
I don't think that I would apply Trabant > Amiga, personally. It's a primitive Eastern Bloc auto brand that was not well regarded at ANY time. Why not go with the obvious choice from Commodore's ads, quoting someone from industry at the time: Amiga: The "Maserati of personal computers"! A brand that wasn't for everyone but offered shining performance in its limited field; a brand that was more successful in the area of origin (Europe) than in the U.S.; a brand that at the time competed with the best, though its later offerings fell off the pace, and was sold and resold, with some minimal interest and activity remaining but a tiny player in the market with little impact.
