do you have ANY idea what you're talking about? i've owned both alpine and pioneer brands in the past. i'm NOT at all biased towards 1 brand. i did alot of research and went with the Pioneer. all your "reasons" are nothing but opinions. i like this line the best ...

"looks/design...Pioneer because most people like flashy girlie looking radios. "

ummm ... okay, let's get a MAN radio. let's get a stock one because those look brutal and rugged.

"USABLE features, Alpine again"

what isn't usable on the Pioneer? the mp3 playback? the 7 setting eq? the built in sub crossover? the tv tuner control?

you for got reason 6 to get an alpine ...
