The top level Infiniti M stereo is easily a match for Lexus\ML, Volvo\Dynaudio, or Acura\ELS, and it seems as if the system in the new G will be as good if not better. The reason why Bose car audio can be so good is exactly the same reason that holds back the home products. Priorities. The Bose engineers working with Infiniti have the exact same goals as the Mark Levinson engineers. Make the system sound as good as it possibly can. You don't have to worry about making a cutesy system with plenty of WAF when you're making a car stereo. |

Replying to: lexusguy (Jul 17, 2006 3:12 pm) Now, an upgrade, a factory upgrade to the one I have -- perhaps for $995, would possibly have merit. I listen to Sirius a lot, but I also listen to a lot of Books on CD -- the extra fidelity while nice, has little financial value with my listening habits. I applaud the constant move upscale, but the M's Bose system and the system that was, in 2005 at least, in the Acura (w/DVD audio) fantastic. |

For whatever reason though, the 901s are still made. Considering the age of their design, the production cost is probably almost nil, so that could explain it. |

It's confirmed. The 2007 GS350 will have 303 hp and 274 torque. The V6 GS will go from slowest-in-class to fastest-in-class. I'd expect a mag to get 5.6s or so. No word on a GS460. |
