Best Factory Audio Systems?

[SlaughterX]

So, who do you all think makes the best factory car audio systems? I work at a Jeep/RAM/Dodge/Chrysler dealership, and the nicest system we have are the McIntosh systems in the higher trim level Jeep Grand Cherokee and Grand Wagoneer. It's probably about as close to a McIntosh system that I will ever get... I do like the Alpine systems though. I have never had the chance to listem to the Klipsch system in Tungsten RAM because we never order trucks that expensive, but I do find it interesting that the Klipsch system is supposedly more sophisticated than the McIntosh.

I own a 2018 Lincoln Continental with the standard speakers... I have heard the Revel system in a newer 2020 Aviator, and I honestly don't think it sounds much better than the standard speakers, but I do wish I had a Black Label.

If I could, I'd choose Mark Levinson or Harman Kardon.

McIntosh don't appear all that capable at loudspeaker design.

It is pretty subjective, though, but the best in-car systems I have heard so far were:

Burmester in Porsche Panamera
B&W in Volvo CX90

Interestingly, the Volvo system did not anyhow resemble the B&W systems I was used to, particularly not these in larger BMW vehicles.
