Looking for a new radio.

You leave the door wide open. Let us narrow the choices down a bit. What's you budget? What brand biases do you lean toward?

Alright, first off let's clear out any budget concerns; my upper cieling is $599.99, which should be more than enough for the single-DIN pushbutton segment. I want built-in HD capabilities and, if possible, Bluetooth as well.

I'm quite partial to JVC and Alpine as I've had good experiences with them in the past; conversely, you can cross Clarion and Kenwood off the list unless they're absolutely 100% spot-on aesthetically speaking.

I really want this radio to look like it came with the car! >.<

By the way... Is the SAT button on the stock HU a lie? I don't see anything on the unit that says SAT-ready, or else I'd forego a new head unit altogether and just add satellite.
