I look forward to seeing what BMW has to offer in two years. I hope a 535D will sell here. link title

Replying to: dewey (Jul 19, 2006 11:26 am) The test report of the 535d I saw on British TV was impressive to say the least. Of course, Mercedes has some fine TD cars too -- hope these choices soon become OUR choices. |

My view: These types of cars aren't always used exclusively on the track. Plus, the Cayman S isn't THAT loud (we've had one in the lab many times) when you're just tooting around town. Back when I had an NSX-T to drive, there were times when the audio system was really nice to have, and other times when it was completely irrelevant. Feng |

One of the recent LPS's is selling a premium audio system that provides exterior-noise canceling in the same way that contemporary headphones do (some fancy digital signal processing). Does anyone know whether this is a trend or whether it is a curiosity? The technology makes such sense I'd like to see it in most LPS's within a few years.

Replying to: lansdownemike (Jul 21, 2006 5:52 am) As processors become cheaper and faster, it becomes more feasible, but for something like replacing the muffler - you'd go from inaudible to open straight pipe if you blew the fuse or the amplifier. I think that may be the main reason they haven't used it. At least with a regular muffler, you usually get a heads up that the thing is about to fail. |

Replacing the muffler with a noise canceler. That's really quite clever. Of course, i see the failure issue too. |
