Do you care about car audio?

I like nice cars and I appreciate the fact that I've been fortunate enough to lease and drive some very nice ones.  I would never drive a luxury car out of warranty, but that's not my point.  My point is, as much as I love audio, I never really had any urge to upgrade my car audio system.  Whatever came with the car was totally satisfactory to me.  Right now, my car came with a somewhat upgraded Meridian stereo, but it is not the full-blown surround/subwoofer deal.  It sounds fine and I've never wanted more than a standard decent car radio had to offer.  
Do you people have any enthusiasm for upgraded car audio as opposed to stock?  Then again, truth be told, I've never listened to the fancy car setups and I might be tempted if I thought it was that much more enjoyable.  Who knows.

The good thing about car audio is that it runs off the battery. In my last car, Toyota Corolla, I installed a Kenwood CD player, Audiobahn amp and JBL rear speakers. It was great for rock and that’s all I listen to while I’m driving. Now I own a Kia SUV and the factory stereo is just OK though I’ve been listening to The Faces ‘A Nod...and The Rolling Stones ‘Exile on Main Street’ constantly. Point being, it’s more about driving than listening and I don’t use my iPhone while I’m driving.
I’d like to install an aftermarket amp, CD player and speakers but there’s a hundred things that take a higher priority, including paying attention to the road.
