If you are trying to address automotive temperature requirements, finding a
board should be first priority, and you will have turn to more traditional
embedded board manufacturers.

If automotive temp specs are not a concern, there is a company in the USA
that has automotive solutions:

There is a whole hobbyist / car enthusiast site that supports XP/XPe in
automotive: http://www.mp3car.com/. They have automotive PCs available.
