The Microsoft vehicle fleet

As I was sitting on the metered ramp from Hwy 87 to northbound 101 this morning, I noted with surprise that I was directly behind a Saturn Outlook sport-utility vehicle. I had not seen this particular model before, and the time of morning (7:30) combined with my lack of coffee caused a rather odd sequence of ideas to occur to me.

If you consider that:

Hyundai sold an Excel model for years and Toyota has the Access cab Tacoma truck,

It is clear to me that the automotive industry is missing these particular models, which would probably be giant sellers:

BMW PowerPoint - A 4 door sedan marketed to product managers, vice presidents and go-get-’em sales people.

Cadillac Word - An oversized version of the Escalade SUV. Only available in black with gold trim, dropped-down at the factory, with limo-tint windows as a standard feature.

As noted by sfwarlock: You’re missing the Visio, the OneNote and the Project.

I also see that the SharePoint is missing, which would likely be the crossover SUV brother of the PowerPoint.
