DEARBORN, Mich., Dec. 18  /PRNewswire/ -- Two audio systems engineered and

for 2004."

Staff members of Edmunds.com , (http://www.edmunds.com/ ) the online car buying
guide, tested more than 100 vehicles.  The Top 10 Sound Systems represents "what
we believe are the best of what we've driven," said John DiPietro, who wrote the
summaries of what made each of the best sound systems stand out.

Visteon distributors and Ford dealers offer the Ford-authorized MACH 460 and
MACH 1000 audio systems on 1994 to 2003 model year Mustangs.  Both are high
performance audio systems that combine award-winning sound quality with powerful
volume.

The MACH 460 offers 230 watts of continuous average power and 460 watts of peak
power through four 5.5 by 7.5-inch subwoofers, two subwoofer amplifiers and four
2.5-inch mid-range tweeters.

"Whether you're a fan of AC/DC or Linkin Park, you'll want to check out the MACH
460 system in the Mustang," DiPietro wrote.

The MACH 1000 builds on the MACH 460 system with four additional MACH MA185
subwoofer amplifiers and two additional MACH 10-inch subwoofers in integral
14-liter sealed enclosures mounted in the trunk.  This system brings Mustang
audio enthusiasts 570 watts of continuous average power and 1,140 watts of peak
power.  Both work with existing factory head units.

Beginning in 2002, Visteon has supplied its MACH(R) Audio System on the limited
edition, 2002 Ford Focus ZTS sedan.  The factory-installed CD-6 sound system
pumps nearly 500 watts of power, specifically equalized to the Focus interior
with Visteon's proprietary MACH DSP EQ tool -- creating sound clarity and
richness rivaling an in-home entertainment system.

Visteon Corporation is a leading full-service supplier that delivers
consumer-driven technology solutions to automotive manufacturers worldwide and
through multiple channels within the global automotive aftermarket, as well as
for the car parts replacement market.  Visteon has approximately 75,000
employees and a global delivery system of more than 180 technical,
