The best two statements of advice that I've ever gotten are from my brother-in-law in the early 1990's. 1st one, when I bought a used '89 Olds Cutless, my bro-in-law said, "Congratulations!!! You've just bought a deficit!". The other, was on a work environment, " No matter where you go, it's going to be f***'ed -up!". No truer words have been spoken.

If you ask me there has been no foresight into this decision by certain auto makers. This may be good for large metropolitan areas but useless if you are rural. Where I live, there is no such thing as digital AM or digital FM so I guess, no radio at all?
