Satellite Wars: The Alliance Of The Auto-makers

XM and SIRIUS satellite radio systems are taking it to the next level. Hyundai is coupling with XM and SIRIUS has been chosen by Land Rover, Mercedes-Benz, and Jaguar. That’s right, we’re not talking "satellite radio ready" anymore boys and girls, this is the real deal "satellite radio equipped!" Satellite radio allows the artist and song title to be displayed on screen. Music is provided with no commercials at a static free, high quality sound level.

XM radio is the leader in satellite radio, which makes me wonder why the higher end automotive manufacturers went with the less popular SIRIUS radio? Is there something coming that we don’t know about? I for one know that Howard Stern has moved to SIRIUS radio, could this be the clincher between your next purchase of a Mercedes-Benz v.s. a Hyundai?
