I had an Eclipse head unit years ago (94-95) with a touch screen control (well, it was a new gadget back in the day)... I really liked mine, much more than the alpine I had. Although, I'm not really a big supporter of high-end audio in the car. I used to think it was the end/all be all, but there's just too many variables and costs associated associated with noise, you're better off reinvesting that money into your home system.
