Autos with stock awsome sound systems; Recomend?


Howdy. My wife & I are due for a new car. While I am happy with the JBL system in my Avalon, my wife is less than enthused with her 96' Lexus. Since we are going to be spending major $, anyone really impressed with their stock system in their cruiser? We are not talking concert levels here, just an impressive system from the showroom floor.
Thanks for any input,
John

I have been lucky enough to spend some time with an Audi A8 equipped with the Bang & Olufsen "advanced sound system", and it is by far the best audio system I've ever heard in a car, period . . . whether stock or aftermarket/custom.

I second that. Too bad is sooo expensive. The tweeter towers popping up from the dashboard are awesome.

The other excellent system I have heard is a Naim system in my neighbour's Bentley Continental GT Speed.

Mark Levinson systems that can be found in variuos Lexus models are all overrated IMO (heard one in LS460 and SC), although still better than bose from my Audi, whcih is a complete crap.
