Oh I have.....bought one and returned it the same day. Sound quality matching a distant static laden FM channel.

On a similar rant, I declined the purchase of several car models just because it wasn't included recently. The Mitsubishi in particular didn't have one, which conincidentally was one of the (rejected) cars at Budget.
