(I own a Hyundai by the way... never was into the expensive cars and I do own a bose lifestyle system that was a hand-me-down that I use for computer speakers). All the people who I talk to about stereos with always ask how it compares to BOSE. All it takes is one listen. It's up to us who have ventured away from main retail stores for our audio equipment to educate our family and friends on just what is out there. Until then I think we all know how bad BOSE systems really are, but this is no basis to make other's feel bad about their decisions in life. Ignorance is bliss!! =)
    Chimera,

    With the internet forums like this, magazines, and word of mouth there is no excuse for buying anything Bose. Ignorance may be bliss, but it is also VERY costly. There is no reason for ANYONE to have a sheep mentality and buy a product because every other ignorant person is buying it. They should be chided and belittle of this is the case.
    IMHO I don't really think this is a case of ignorance alone. Its laziness AND ignorance, and a little dose of greed on behalf of salesmen who sell this crap.

    I am sorry, I am having a very hard time feeling sorry for those people who choose a name over value and performance. They should feel bad for not being so bright!
