    I've not heard the Cruze's stereo but admittedly, the stereos in even GM econoboxes usually don't sound too bad even in the former era of GM Tupperware interiors and thus crappy looking stereos.

    I would add
    . There is a span of really low tones that gives a sub a run for its money.

    Hi All,

    I am hardly an audio-phile, but I would add:

    Rudy (The Crime of the Centrury) Supertramp...The apparently live recording in the train station should sound clear even with the background music. Also, the loud creschendos should be accurate.

    Hi Spidey...

    Thanks for posting that. When that comercial came out I sent several hours looking for that performance. Apparently, GM did not have it on You-Tube at that time.

    There is a bettery audio version of it too.
    .

    The low frequency audio in this version is cleaner. The sub 10 Hz comes right through on the Logitech top-of-the-line (forget the P/N) here.
