Will.I.Am Starts Car Company, IAMAUTO (VIDEO)

Black Eyed Peas rapper, Will.I.Am, says he wants to give back. How? By designing his own "sick" and "fresh" sports car, of course!

Will.I.Am told car aficionado Jay Leno on "The Tonight Show" Thursday that he's creating a car company in East Los Angeles to "bring jobs to the ghetto that I came from."

Check out the video above to see the Black Eyed Peas perform or jump ahead to 3:40 to hear the rapper describe the car, where the parts come from and, most importantly, the "beats" (interior sound system). He even asks Leno to test drive the new wheels!

this guy is confused, just misguided fool fueled off of mass media output. he knows nothing of the real concept and design. he is a name brand. sorry i sound like a hater. i want to actually like what he's doing. but he is still very much misguided.

Since, in keeping with his "musical" career, he will simply copy someone else's design, the answer must be: no.

Hire some engineers and designers from BMW, bring them over and then leave them alone. Shortly afterwards you will have a marvel of engineering.

I don't buy music designed by the Black eyed Peas, why would I buy a car?
