You would think the day after Thanksgiving would be a good time to sell a Sirius radio?

So since XM has been in business longer it is less expensive for them to advertise and market their service? Has nothing to do with chipsets as Forbes says!

And how many of those people are continuing their subscriptions beyond the FREE time period? A whopping 52%. :lol:

When you talking 1.5million to 1.7million cars sold 52% isn't bad, thats only 780,000-884,000 new subs a year just from car deals with hardley any expense.

1 year isn't enough time to tell what kind of subs they are getting from this? Sirius was in the 05 models and we are 1 month away from 07. Is 2 years considered fairly new?????

Ohh, and by the way. I guess us O & A fans wanted just a little more O & A. The bbboys muct be doing pretty good over at XM?
