Nope, don't think so. What would you need with one of these "cassette" things, anyhow?

No. Why the fuck would you use a cassette? CDs are cheap, easy to make yourself and don't take up nearly as much space in your vehicle.

MY 99 exploder has a tape deck. I'll sell it to you for 5,000 dollars. And I'll throw in a Ford Exploder, free!
 I like my tape deck. I have one of those fancy tape-with-the-headphone-jack adapters, and I use it to listen to my iPod when I'm driving around. I also like that my tape deck/radio has big ass buttons with big text labels that I can actually use while I'm (just for instance, here) driving my goddamn car. Do any modern car stereo whatsits actually have sensible controls, or do they all have 85 buttons the size of grains of rice and little silver knobs whose motion is barely perceptible? Also, some company makes a tape deck that goes in 5.25" bays on computers. I want one! ~GnSx |

Doesn't Ford still build all their cars with tape decks and 8-track players?

I was in a truck stop last weekend and saw a big rack of Cassette tapes next to the CD's. They were all new and looked like they hadn't been touched in years.

As a matter of fact, I rented a truck a couple years ago from Penske, and all the fucking thing had was a tape deck. I ended up buying a cheap portable CD player that came with a cassette adapter just so I could have decent tunes in the truck.
I do know that tape decks were installed in cars waaaaaay longer than they should have been. I haven't purchased a tape in 14 years, and I wasn't exactly an early adopter of CD's.

I thought the Excusion line was discontinued? I know they make an extended-wheelbase Expedition to compete with the Suburban/Yukon.
Most of the crappy rental cars my secretary reserves for me have them. Kharn |

I believe you can still buy the players at AudioXpress(or however you spell it). I saw one in there a few years ago and about fell over.

The 2008 Mercedes Benz McLaren SLR Roadster has a price of a half million dollars, and still comes with a cassette player.
Taken from the web page: Audio 30 APS AM/FM radio with concealed cassette player and 6-disc CD changer. Functions for the audio system are displayed in the speedometer. Linky:Not a Rick Roll |

My former brother in law sold new Chevys at a Chevy dealership back in 1989. Under regional equipment they had snow tires and heated seats for New England and other northern climates, and in the South, due to demand, you could still order a new Chey with an 8 track player. Who would be making 8 tracks in 1989? Lots of big 8 track collections down south in 1989, I guess.

I have a lot of cassettes, some over thirty years old, and they still play fine. My 2001 Saturn LW300 has AM/FM, cassette/CD player. Great for books-on-tape, too.
Never had 8-tracks, but still have even more LPs. Now- if I cold only find a way to play my LPs in the car while I'm driving......

2003 dodge fullsize pickup with a tape and cd player.
For some amusement I still listen to tapes but mine are reaching the age where they are breaking on a regular basis. I find tapes useful for recording things like people having a conversation or something. The sort of thing where you may not need a camcorder to have picture and sound but you want the sound so you can get quotes right and what not. Burnig a cd is fine for computer stuff but tapes have a few uses just like some people still use their vhs player to record shows. |

My old boss orders a custom 'vette every 2-4 years.
When the C5 came out in '97, it was his wife's "turn," so he tried to get them to put an 8-track in it, so she wouldn't want it and it would "become" his. No dice.

My 2006 Hyundai Tiburon does. I'm pretty sure the '08s do too.
I'm glad it has one; it's easy to connect my ipod to the stock sound system with a "headphone jack to tape" converter device. |

My '03 Expedition has one, in addition to a CD player. I kind of like it, because headphone-to-cassette adapters work better than FM transmitters for listening to podcasts while driving.

For all you "CDs are superior" people...
According to an auto industry mag I was reading a month or two ago, CD players are going to be disapearing very shortly. Within 6 years the CD will be going the way of the cassette. It takes up too much room in the dash. It will be replaced by things such as IPOD and MP3 player ports and memory stick and flash drive based storage formats. |

At $40-$200 each, libraries are unlikely to replace books on tape en masse, they are simply going to purchase mainly on CD or digital distribution from this point forward. Having been in charge of a $30k purchasing budget at a public library as recently as 2004, I can assure you that we did the best we could--but there is no way we could have afforded to spend $35k to replace our existing tape collection with CD or digital versions. |
