I just bought a brand new Hyundai Tucson Hybrid.
And it does not have CD, only has a Sam Data USB flash drive.

CD's are making a comeback (I still have over 100, and recently completed my collection of the Beatles studio albums). Many
people like the idea of owning permanent physical copies of their favorite music.
