Concerning high end audio names in new cars

It made sense to me when high end audio manufactures started selling their brand names to the likes of BMW. I really had to look twice when I saw the Jeep Grand Wagoneer on a commercial with large blue MacIntosh meters on the dash! I went to the website just to make sure my eyes weren't deceiving me. It's just fluff of course. I've been in several vehicles with supposedly high end audio systems. I wasn't impressed  with any of them. I wonder what impact if any the Mac meters will have on the general public. I hope audiophiles steer clear of this model car as it could prove to be a distraction for sure.

I agree with @spenav as far as expectations. My wife has an Avalon with JBL system which I like for the car use. The biggest reason is that it is no louder in the back seat than the front. IOW very even volume. And tone was good for a car. It was very good for the 550 mile road trips to see family in which my mother in law went with us.

I am part of the Corvette forum as well and could never understand why anyone wants a high end system in it. The newer ones are fairly quiet for a sports car but they still aren't as quiet as the Avalon or even my truck
