    Could Slate compete with a Toyota Stout 2 door?

    I actually don’t need a pickup and I need better than 21 mpg. My eye is on the Civic Hatchback Sport Touring. About $34K. I test drove one and could not stop smiling.

    Need FM Radio

    It’s about the space behind the speaker that makes or breaks the sound quality. The larger the space, the better the sound. The doors are by far the better place to install speakers. That plus the sound from door speakers meets in the center of the cab. Front facing speakers direct sound to the...

    Need FM Radio

    If that was completely true they would not be showing speakers mounted in the face of the dash.

    Need FM Radio

    I’m guessing Eric was referring to plug and play capability for DIN head units.
