My wifes Grandfather HAD a 1985 Lamborghini countach when he was alive. But it was just like every lamborghini breaking down every weekend. I could red line my old camaro all day and it would still want more. The only thing i was comparing was the unreliability MOST exodics have over MOST average cars i just used GM because there in the artical.

Not like it matters though, it has a 6 disc MP3 CD player which is better than having something plugged into my dash. “They’re just offering this as an added convienience to iPod owners who want to retain steering wheel controls”

I picked up a Sansa e260 (4 gig). Forget it. Can't make playlists, fucking confusing interface, shitty scrollwheel.

It hurts bad! Not to mention how you explaining so eloquently and so full of detail how Lamborghini's "break down more" than GM's have turned me away from thrilling, exotic super cars and onto discounted, sub-par quality domestic trash! Also, forgot to point out that you are, yes indeed you are, comparing a small Italian supercar manufacturer (owned by VW I know) to the world's second largest car manufacturer!

This kind of device is what we need in all cars, not a wired, plug in link thats dealer installed...good god.

I could afford a new Cadillac CTS-V LS6 and have a very nice 1969 Camaro Z28 302 instead. I don't know what your problem is, but I'll bet it's hard to pronounce.

LamborghiniZ: I'll never understand why good product throws people over the edge. There's a universal jack on nearly every radio that GM sells. So, yeah! Those damn scam artists at GM. What the hell were they thinking trying to make product that people want!? Great responses…

But GM here, always the tricky fucks in this business, of course made its jacks iPod only, so as to persuade the buying populace just a LITTLE bit more, as if the influence wasn't enough there already, to further Apple's monopoly on the mp3 market!
