dnewma04,
You are correct that it is indeed Mark Levinson who has sold his audio soul to Lexus for marketing purposes.
Of course I don't know who is more to blaim for this sacrilege; Levinson for selling out or Lexus for trying to exploit a high end name to bolster their own luxury image amongst the status symbol obsessed yuppies who make up their customer base.
On a similar musical note (ouch!), isn't the OEM system in the new Infiniti Q-45 provided by Nakamichi?
SVT Contour, no problem, I had just read that comment on Phase Linear earlier in the day so it was easy to find.
I'm not that familiar with high end audio so I don't know who Mark Levinson is, but he's no longer associated with the brand, it's part of the Harmon group now.
The last Lexus system was Nakamichi. Did you know a Mcintosh system is optional on Subaru's? And the optional Volvo C70 is Dynaudio.
