Patrick, I agree with Steve. Any new car I've driven (my own, and rental)
have generally been pretty poor on AM. I just drove a Nissan Leaf
electric, and it was simply awful on AM. Everytime I accelerated, I could
hear all of the electronics whirring and wining, even on strong stations.
FM was fine. 73, Walt
