And if I wanted a car with no amenities I'd just buy a race car which does what you're describing far better. It's 2016, a radio that can interact with devices via Bluetooth/USB is pretty much standard on most makes/models. This isn't a major request and every automotive manufacturer in the world is on board for this. Hence my point. I'm about to purchase a $400 radio for mine, if people are paying $20k for a proper audio system then they're f*cking stupid.

If I'm buying a car that was at one point $35k+ and a 2013 model year, I want it to come with a radio that is better than what came in a 1998 BMW 330i. That's not too much to ask.

Didn't the tech package already address all of that stuff?

I'm much more concerned about there not being any meaningful performance upgrades over 9 model years dating back to 2009.

Right, in 2014 they did. Mine being a '13 didn't even have that option, which is still outclassed by pretty much EVERYONE in 2013. It's sad when a aftermarket $400 head unit will absolutely mud-stomp the OEM unit which would make sense, you know, were this 2005.

The performance aspect will likely be addressed on when they change bodystyles. The Q60 uses the VR30DDTT, I'd imagine it's going to be the new 6 cyl option for the Z along with whatever 4cyl they decide to give it. Personally, I wouldn't mind that new light weight Nismo motor they developed in my current chassis. Would make one hell of a road race car.

Pretty much why I traded my '13 370. Yea, it was a hoot to drive ONCE in a while when I wasnt stuck in traffic. Which was 99% of the time. Crappy radio...crappy? No, downright pathetic radio. Seats are AWFUL. No bluetooth. I did get cruise control. Just like my old 1997 Saab. No, that had ALOT more tech actually. Z...great bargain sports car if youre lucky enough to track it regularly or live in the mountains with no traffic.
