Sony used to do one of those - the
MEX-1GP - now discontinued. It had a detachable faceplate with a USB cable which could plug straight into your PC and store 1GB of music. Kenwood
still do one with 512MB if you're interested.
Sony's current
Xplod range include A2DP compatible headunits, iPod ready units with a 3.5mm input jack in the front, and units with a front mounted USB cable connector which should be compatible with any MP3 player and P1/W960/A200 phones that support Mass Storage Device connectivity mode. Plenty of options for you there...
Pioneer don't appear to have in-built storage in thier
current range and thier USB and iPod connections are REAR mounted which can be inconvenient.

Do what I did, got the model below this from Halfords:
http://www.halfords.com/webap[....]5-31371_parentcategoryrn_31516
and I got 2x 4GB Lexar USB drives for £20 from mymemory.com, prolly even cheaper now, but their the smallest physical size so that they hardly stick out of it at all.
Means you can have, well, whatever the max capacity is of the stick. And mine just dangle off my keys so I get in the car, rip it off the key ring and stick it in the drive, much easier

I'm sure you have a spare £1500 to spend just this once?
Can you not fit a double into a Corsa?

I can't imagine that being more than £500-600?
It looks sweet as!

If you went down the fully iPod compatible unit route, you'd have a much wider selection though...
