OK, here we have the uber-stylish pioneer unit
Look, it has a knob and some buttons, even an EQ curve (god i'll never use that) and a volume level on the sides (how worthless, you're right they just cram this thing with worthless features...)
Wow, all this futuristic styling in the kenwood with the special patterned bars for the EQ (obviously necessary) They obviously didnt spend a second trying to make this unit look good. My pioneer looks cooler easily!!!
another kenwood with a motorized face plate and a "fine-dot fluorescent display" Obviously both of these were designed for higher sound quality and not for style...
I could keep picking units that look cooler than mine all day. Mine was an affordable headunit that delivers incredible sound quality for my money, and i can put the $100 or so i saved on this headunit into speakers and it'll sound better than any of these.
