ScottB, I agree. I'm not feeling this Solstice's interior. I like the Sky's interior quite a bit. It's even nicer than the Miata's, IMO.
EXACTLY!! It's funny how Americans have short memories and use this logic to blast their country's products. I guess I should never buy a new Camry since the mid '60s - early '70s Coronas/Colloras/etc. were rustbuckets which literally fell apart as you drove down the road. LOL! I would never drive/own one (TOYota, that is) for other reasons, not this one.quote:

GM has obvisouly had it's problems, but as far as quality is concerned, they are night and day what they were in the 80's.
In general though, I typically stay away from first model years of ANY car no matter the manufacturer.
UM, OK...quote:

Screw ipods. Give it the ability to play mp3s off of a DVD.
If I remember correctly, my old Clarion in-dash mp3 CD player supported playlist files.quote:
With an iPod, I have playlists based on any number of criteria, a DVD won't let you do that.
Not everybody's as hip, hop, and totally happening as you, Scott..quote:
As for wanting to hookup a cassette player, LMAO.
So does my Buick Terraza and most MP3 CD players these days.quote:

A firmware upgrade might be all that it needs. But, let me be clear, what I was suggesting is that the feature be added to current mp3-CD player designs, even without adding the additional DVD video capabilities (which should save on licensing costs and royalty payments, in addition to hardware costs).quote:
Given this, and given that it will already play MP3 CD's, MP3 DVDs can't be too far off.
So it would seem logical that any MP3-DVD implementation would include this ability.quote:

I don't know. I don't think anyone is conditioned to look toward GM for such para-exotic offerings. It's kinda like if BMW offered a working class econobox ...would anyone buy itquote:
I think this will help GM a lot.
