And you lie to me, and say you'd have a 911 GT3 (also known as a 917 GT3) over a Aston Martin DBS.

Bearing in mind the Porsche is quite faster, but just fucking look at the Aston Martin.


Everyday people pay for image over performance.
Are you fucking kidding me? I wants me a GT3!

Aston Martin may be "beautiful"... I guess but just because the top gear guys pine for them doesn't mean its better. GT3 is plenty luxurious, and still very impressive if those things are important to you and will give you one hell of a ride. Not to worried about trying to impress people, as if the GT3 wouldn't do that anyways, and the GT3 would be many many more times more fun to drive. Having ridden in one let me tell you they are fucking amazing.

Spoiler (highlight to read):
You did get that that was a joke right? I am serious as shit about it being a good option if you must have a portable MP3 player, and integrated in car unit though

You know, every single time the iPod comes up, Freezer throws the Cowon out there. That's all well and good, but I still have a feature on my iPod Video that he hasn't been able to show me his Cowon can do - custom playlists that are drag and drop. Maintaining a separate library listing for everything on the player, but then having playlists to separate things as you want them separated. Maybe the Cowon can do it, but no one has been able to say yes or no.

Now if I had to choose the GT3 versus the DBS ... I would choose the DBS. It just looks better and it is more comfortable. The 911 GT3 will be very rough on your body. The better the car performs, the more you have to put up with nags like comfort. Granted, once you get into Lamborghini and Ferrari territory, that becomes less of a problem, but then the price tag is also considerably more than an Aston or a Porsche.

Hello. I'm .m3u. Pleased to meet you.
The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

Luxurious enough for a sports car... I'm not fucking 80 I don't need a sofa on wheels I meant more along the lines of quality of materials for interior and what not... They ride smooth enough that you really have no reason to complain for the performance your getting.

Archos 5 tbh.

For those same $400, you get 120GB, a web browser that actually DOES play flash video, looks half decent(TBH, Freezer, the Cowon looks unpretty)

And you get a myriad of (cheap) accessories direct from the MFGR, a $120 HelmetCam, a 3G modem, and alot more.

Plus: Lose your cable, and a new one's only $10.

lol, dunno why this was a karma message...

They make fm transmitters that go into an 1/8" jack, I have one, next time do your research - Miggle
Well no shit, they make Mr. Microphone that will broadcast what ever you say to the radio too...  But that is no where near the same as having it integrated so that my ipod can sit tucked away in my glove box while I can still change tracks, view whats playing and operate all other functions of the device with out having to fiddle around with my ipod.

Hell I could go buy portable speakers and use those in my car too, but I want ONE unit to operate. Besides, music transmitted to the radio via FM loses a lot of quality.

You guys hate apple fan boys, but your just as bad yourselves. Instead of praising a brand for no reason, your hating it just to separate yourselves. Quit trying to fucking hard to find fault and realize that in some cases it actually does provide a service that is unique and desirable.

Let's try to put this plainly, something everyone has been trying to tell you: You can name one feature that isn't bested by another player, and it's hardly due to the product itself. If one product has only thing to make it stand out, it holds no water.

You see, personally, I don't care about the thing in car because 1) A 3.5mm jack is simpler and fare more widely supported. By buying a stereo with an iPod adapter, you're crippling yourself to one brand. 2) It's pretty stupid to change the tracks and fiddle with the thing while you're driving. If I need to, I can change it at a light and I certainly don't need a separate, malformed interface to do it. Far better to just use the player itself.

But hey, everyone has their reasons.

Let me try to put this plainly for YOU.

It does everything I need perfectly, was in my budget, has worked flawlessly for me for a few years now, and offers features that are important to me  that no other portable MP3 player I have seen does.
