Ford of Canada to make Sirius Satellite Radio standard equipment
December 19,2006
Toronto, Ontario - Ford of Canada has announced that Sirius Satellite Radio receivers will become a factory-standard feature in virtually all Ford and Lincoln vehicles sold in Canada. By the end of 2007, nearly every new Ford vehicle sold will come equipped with the radio and a subscription.
The new satellite radio will be available as a factory-standard feature in 20 vehicle lines, including the Ford Five Hundred, Focus, Fusion, Mustang, Edge, Ranger, Escape, Expedition, Explorer, Sport Trac, Freestyle, F-Series, and Lincoln Mark LT, MKX, MKZ and Navigator models.
I was the only member on this board with a Yellow Focus Sedan, and a 2002+ Euro Facelift on a sedan.

I wonder how long the subscription will be for? 3 months, or maybe a whole year???

I got the info for you guys , my brother in law has a fusion as a demo , and the sat radio comes with 6 months free but thats right off the truck if you buy it 5 months down the road you will only have 1 free month.
Yeah I know weird but thats how it is and thats why ford dont advertise it.

If I had it for a year and it got hooked on it I would probably subscribe, but if I had a car for 2 months and the subscription ran out after that it probably wouldn't be enough to get me to shell out money for what I could get for free.

I don't see myself ever buying a satelite radio sub.
Why pay for something which you don't have control over?
I like my local radio stations, and when they have nothing good playing, I'll just use my iPod and listen to my free music ;)
Just my 2 cents
