What they had installed, though, was the top-of-the-line digital AM/FM/auto-reverse cassette deck with Dolby noise reduction. THAT was supposed to be about a $450 option.

I believe the magazine was quoting the cost to manufacture the radios, and not what they charged customers. Radios were always an expensive option.
