I can believe that. It does make some sense. That car is meant for driving, and driving FAST. Aston Martins are very fast and are supposed to be more luxurious. A $32k Subaru WRX STi didn't have a stereo as standard equipment for the same reason. That and the monster weight savings.

JMS, why would it be so much more difficult? I could see problems with a receiver, but with a separate amp setup the eq would just go on the corresponding channels wouldn't it?
