- yitchelle 12y agoEven if his snobbery is with the car, the Camry design works at some level. Toyota sells tons of those. I had one about 10 years ago, and it was functional and does the job. For me, if I am going to spend 20K on an item, I would want it to be functional.
- Intermernet 12y agoThe one non-subjective aspect of design (other than cost, obviously) is functionality, and the Camry is one of the more functional cars on the road. Every other aspect of design is subjective. One person's Porsche is another's Ferrari. One's BMW is another's Merc. Also, the article (although possibly misquoting), states that Ive's disgust is with the exec driving the Camry, not the Camry itself.

Here is the text direct from the source article - the New Yorker profile - (that this article is referencing): "Jeff Williams, Apple’s senior vice-president of operations, drives an old Toyota Camry. Ive’s verdict, according to Williams, is “Oh, God.”"
