You put the same software on any Win7 machine and it works exactly the same.

This is not true. The processor must support the instructions that are used in the software. The software must not call on drivers that are missing on a particular machine, etc. Even if all the operating system calls work as intended then with different hardware the actual execution of instructions will vary, including the speed of operation (which will affect the sequence of computation and I/O) and the pattern of memory references (a function of page faults and cache misses, etc.).
Not to mention the myriad (hyper-astronomical) ways a system can be configured, many of which will affect the performance and ability of a computer system in real-time applications, such as audio. At least in the past, some computer vendors bundled their own extensions to Windows with their products. These have had deleterious affect on system performance on occasion.

Do you think or have evidence that the car stereo version of Logic 7 works inherently different from that of other Logic 7 decoders? I'm speaking from the user's perspective, not in minutiae about their power supplies, mounting brackets or connectors.

The system seems to have evolved over the years, at least to a certain extent. It also comes in different configurations. I would assume that the installations in the various luxury cars are all customized. From all that I've read the various techniques of "steering", etc. were developed to address the problem of movie sound. Its applicability to two channel unencoded music is dubious, no matter how many PhD degrees an employee touting the product might happen to have. (Sean Olive is an employee of Harmon and they own Lexicon.)
When I am listening to music seriously I sit on the midline between my two speakers and may roll my chair forward and back a bit according to the recording. I am definitely unconcerned with the size of any "sweet spot", but then I'm not peddling any gadget, either.
When I am in my car I sit off to the left side and watch the road. It is not possible to listen to classical music in my car properly due to the noise level. I could play loud rock music if I wanted to destroy my hearing. The last thing in the world I am concerned about is whether the imagining in my car is good, so I am not about to trade in my old BMW 5 series for a new model with these gimmicks.

My TL came with a six channel Panasonic ELS surround system capable of playing multi-channel DVD-A discs. A demo disk came with the unit, but honestly in the seven years I've had the car, I never listened to it. The only steering I do with the car controls the front wheels. :)
