A good choice, made in good taste, IMO. The only thing is, the capability of this thing, what with the 24 bit DAC for CDs, will be lost without a whole high quality audio setup to back it up--amp(s),...

Why, specifically?

...And, it's made by Opel. Vauxhall is the name it's sold under in Britain, just like Saturn is (was) it's name here.

And while I generally agree that rwd is generally...

Here's a somewhat fuzzy pic of the Nak' in my Miata. (The thing below it is a satellite radio tuner.) It looks bone-stock in this car too, and I use the all-green illumination setting to match the...

Your crash protection is something like 80% seatbelts, 20% airbombs. I, for one, believe that airbags should never have been mandated in place of more worthwhile safety features, like ABS and...
