My radio is a Nakamichi in the 1995 Lexus LS400 premium factory sound 
system. The car is now over 10 years old and I will probably replace it 
within the next 2 years (when the rumored hybrid LS is available), so I am 
not particularly inclined to put an aftermarket radio in it at this point 
in the vehicle's life. Hopefully, by the time I am ready to buy a new 
vehicle, the factory premium sound system will be available with HD and 
satellite.

BTW, that Lexus is by far the most reliable vehicle I have ever owned. I 
paid a lot for it 10 years ago, but it was money well spent considering the 
usage I got out of it. It now has 136,000 miles on it, still runs 
beautifully and had only the most minor of problems through the years. 
Highly recommended.

The Pontiac Sunbird 2.2L (which occassionally parked next to the LS400)
with GM factory sound (single CD player)is still plugging along at 
110k+ miles with minimal maintenance and gets 30+ MPG. And the Ford Aspire with 150+
which came from a member of the engineering staff also gets 30+ MPG and does about 100
miles RT daily (the stereo stinks). :)
