Say Goodbye To The Car Tape Deck

What! I can't buy a brand new 2011 car with a tape deck? I am so bummed lol. I was shocked to learn that car manufacturers still offered this option up to last year. According to the New York Times, Lexus was the last hold out. This was a little surprising to me but then again they have been marketing to an older generation for years. So for all those who are in the market for a 2011 car and want to play your "mixed tapes" that is no longer an option. I wonder how long CD players in cars have before they are ripped out.
