An Apple Car? Yep, you know it! Cupertino is all abuzz with latest evidence that the fruit-flavored computing company is taking a run at the highway with a possible new iCar, and we’ve got Lewis with the features we’d like to see there.

All this, plus a ton more (see below) in this week’s Cult of Mac Magazine, ready for download at your pleasure.
