Solved do you still play cassettes in your car?

Then again, while they may not come with the car, it doesn't necessarily mean you can't still purchase one and install it yourself (assuming it fits and is compatible which I can't determine, but the site seems to offer the option to check them against specific cars - it is possible that none of them fit in any of the newer cars so the problem may be wider than just being unable to buy a car with one installed): In-Dash Receivers - In-Dash Cassette Players - Car Tape Decks at OnlineCarStereo.com.

But I guess it's pretty clear (I looked for a while and found only these three options which means they aren't really even being made any more - or that will soon be the case - or these only fit/work in older cars that already had them) that the writing is certainly on the wall. Time to convert your cassette tapes to CDs (or load them to iPods or whatever).
