Because it's ugly and dated looking, has 4 background colors to pick from that are all dull and ugly, and I don't see any benefit to the touch screen. I'd rather just have a button i can feel rather than trying to steady my finger over little touch screen buttons while bouncing down the road.

I really hate the stock unit.. Any red back lit unit that fits this car would make my interior look substantially better imo..

Got my eye on these two now...

I like the look of the clarion better, but the sony definitely performs better. For both, I like that you can modify all the lighting to match your interior.

I also just noticed this one.. I think this would look pretty sweet too

As for the storage space comment.. I just meant an extra cubby for my ecig/juice/phone/keys/wallet/work badge etc.

I'm not worried about trunk space I just figured if I were getting really nice door subs it wouldn't be necessary to put a sub in the trunk.

For the record, the other day I made a trip to home depot and came back with 11 12"x12" concrete slabs, 2 bags of sand, and a several tools in my trunk.. so it can carry more than you think
