This just seems the wrong approach if you are trying for brand recognition. The entry Model gets the Meridian, while the top of the line gets Harmon Kardon (at least over here). That will mean to the general buying public that the Harmon Kardon system is the better of the two as it has been selected for the top model lines. If you are going to make a name for yourself in car audio, you should start with a very select, exclusive, top of the line make and model and then when people hear about it, they will be thrilled if it is able to trickle down to the lesser makes or models. I don't think the current plan will be very positive for Meridian!
