Maybe its because they sell a lot of cars to an older audience. Older people may still have a bunch of tapes laying around.

that could definitely be a reason, i mean these cars when new arent exactly aimed at high school kids, theyre pretty expensive

It was due to the older clientèle. However 2010 models have pretty much lost this feature...

I'm new to this whole car scene. What this tape thing you speak of? is it like a extra feature I have to pay for or does everyone get this sweet option? I just got this sweet new technology called a 8-track. Hoping to have it installed by this weekend. It sure beats my record player changer.


AWWW YEAH eat your heart out B!chez
