No problem...thanks for the apology...accepted. :>)

As for true multichannel surround in the car: I have a nice BMW 540i (decent stereo) currently that goes out of lease in March. I have these three cars in my sights (and ears) and am posting a "review" of their audio surround over at the Quad forum once I get a listen to all three. As far as driving machines, all three are very very worthy:
a) Acura RL (Bose 10 speaker surround that plays DVD-Audio hi-rez, DTS 5.1, etc). I heard this one so far and it's great. Even plays Talking Heads Brick DVD-A layer of Dualdisc. I think the Bose system in the Infiniti below is basically the same foundation.
b) Lexus GS series (option: Mark Levenson 7.1 channel surround with 14 speakers and DTS 5.1, Dolby 5.1 and supposedly DVD-Audio 5.1, although not sure that the DVD-Audio "comaptibility" doesn't mean reading the video_ts layer). This ML option available in the Lexus IS series as well. Will test drive/listen on Monday, and test for true hirez, although in an auto environment it's somewhat nit picking, possibly.
c) Infiniti M series (option: Bose Studio Surround with 14 speakers "including personal surround speakers embedded in the shoulders of each front seat. SurroundStageâ„¢ digital processing creates a truly immersive multi-channel sound experience for every passenger. The system accepts a variety of formats, including DVD-Audio, DVD-Video and DTS in the vehicle's DVD player in addition to standard CDs and CD-R and CD-RW discs encoded with MP3 and WMA files. Bose Centerpointâ„¢ signal processing circuitry can even simulate surround sound with stereo or 2-channel CDs"

I'll report back. Frankly, the car environment is a perfect fit for mulitchannel music, and these higher end car companies have figured it out.
