Very interesting. It appears there are a few new units coming out that are worth a look such as the aforementioned Kenwood DDX8017 and the Alpine IVA-D310. The 8017 looks pretty cool, I must say. It's also nice to see that review XPLORx4 linked to above; I had not yet heard much of anything too great about the D1. I did try messing around with it at Circuit City the other day and it was a *little* clumsy at first; but this may be due to the setup at the store. Who knows?

This seems to be the time of year they start "releasing" new things; is this so?
