Damn I had no idea "Bang & Olufsen makes sound systems, which are available in high-end luxury cars including Audi, Aston Martin, BMW and Mercedes-Benz car models. Stamford, Connecticut-based Harman brands are in more than 25 million cars and include AKG, Harman/Kardon, Infinity, JBL, Logic 7, Mark Levinson, Lexicon, Revel, Selenium, and yurbuds" How is there in competition at all?

  I always thought the B&O stereo systems were stylish, but they never EVER seemed to sound superior to other brands that sold at much lower prices.

Wow Subaru did "say something" - they definitely understand their market and they had more to gain by speaking out than keeping silent.

  @Dan: I'm not sure what any of us gain, including Subaru, unless they can point out how it is different from the other 19(?) states and the 1993 Federal law. There may be some differences but I have yet to see it pointed out. I did read some legal reviews and they certainly do not illuminate a difference. The reviews, like the nation seem to be very polarized. I'm sure that this will catch some grief and I'm all right with that if it addresses my question and isn't just a personal view of the way the world is supposed to be.

Given how: 1) GM doesn't give a crap about the Chevy SS 2) There is a total of two of them in a 50 mile radius from me 3) None of them are manuals - and good luck finding that unicorn 4) Sales are non-existent I could hope against all hope that in a last hooray for the Zeta platform that a sportwagon will make it to North America, but it's not going to happen. A Sportwagon Chevy SS with the V8 and a manual - yes yes yes and yes. The G8 would be sold and this would replace it.
