What are some NEW headunits?

Im lookin for a new headunit, and i would like to have it look good, plays mp3s and cdr/rws and everything. I just cant find anything thats nice and new and thats HOT these days. I was interested in the Panasonic headunit http://www.cardomain.com/item/PANCQC8300U , but does anyone know of any other headunits similar to this ?

Agree on the recommendations of the 3 Eclipse units with good procesing.

For comparisons sake- the Eclipse 8454 is 8V and ultra low 55ohm impedance-

Fair enough. But the 8mp can be had for 300$ shipped. Near the HU he put up in the 1st post. The Eclipse, while better then the 8mp, is still far more expensive then that. unless im an idiot and didnt see a place that was selling them for around the same $. which is entirely possible :P

The difference in price goes alot further than just the Voltage out...theres many other differences.

More importantly though..Eclipse backs their products with a 3 Year warranty as well as a year of theft replacement.
