IMHO the aim of rec.audio.high-end is to provide a forum for discussing 
equipment and techniques of audio reproduction for those who take their
audio seriously.  Such people often drive cars and listen to music at the
same time, so I think discussion of auto-sound is quite appropriate, provided
that the discussion is concerned with high-end auto-sound.

It is quite challenging to provide high-quality sound in a car, but it is
a challenge I'd bet most readers of this group have undertaken.  

You can vote for rec.cars.audio if you want to have some place to throw
the radio shack crowd to, but where else can we discuss car CD players and
changers?  At $1000 or more, most people in rec.audio are not interested.
