Based on the hair styles of our favorite Amiga and Commodore engineers, I'd say the Amiga is more like the Trans Am (with t-bar, of course) of computers. Supporting evidence: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_Haynie/ and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KITT/. You can easily substitute "Amiga" for "KITT" in the following cost analysis:

Quote
[The Amiga]'s total production cost was estimated at $11,400,000 in 1982. (This was [the Amiga]'s total construction cost as [it] was first built in 1982. This equals $24,382,861 in 2006 dollars. However, due to inflation and material costs $53,299,730 would be needed in 2006 to purchase the material used in 1982). The cost of subsequent equipment improvements and the installation of additional features since [its] activation have not been factored.
