And it goes against my better judgment.

But damn, this thing looks nice. The price is low. I can get them for $300...

$300 is still a decent amount of money unless your out buying $1K McIntosh units

Anyhow. Whatcha think? Could Sony be trying to make a come back? Could they actually be making something "Good" car audio wise finally?

looks really nice, and from what i know their head units have been on the upswing....now who wants to buy one and try it?

I also have thought of buying this. Im really wanting a double din for my truck.

It looks like a nice unit to me.

I've heard Sony is improving, and while they've always had really nice looking head units, the problem we had with them was reliability and availability of parts, even for a factory authorized service center, which we were. That's why we dropped Sony.
Their amplifiers are the things I avoid like the plague, though.

There are good Alpine and Pioneer head units for $300 though.

^ I could live with that. Not a deal breaker for me.

Ya thats what would stop me from buying Glass.

This unit is fairly stylish though. Unlike those "Xplod" things they thought were going to sell like hot cakes...

I didnt go for the "xplod" stuff either. Back in the day Sony was on top of it. Especially with the Mobile ES line.
