Hey CFOS, please don't misunderstand me. I was not intending to correct you. In fact, you have the correct price for the option. I just pointed out that other options are required to have the satellite radio choice.

S'ok. I didn't mean anything about your comment, only I made a mistake in my estimate. My point was that Porsche, among many other car manufacturers have opted to include satellite radio in, at least, some of their models. I'm sorry if you thought I was upset -- I'm not at all.

$900 for Satellite Radio in a Cayenne?
That's freakin ridiculous. Its already too expensive as it is. $12 is no biggie but
dropping $200 just to get started doesn't make it too apetizing. They have to find a way to get third parties to susbsidize the cost of the tuner, maybe running banner adds during the songs. More sophisticated displays like cell phones are introducing would really help in the ad department. Subsribers alone aren't going to make the bottom line any better.

A Porsche channel would very cool. I'll send Sirius an email.

If they ever got rid of Satellite radio 7 million people would burn down the country.
FM radio sucks!!!! CD's are nice but that's leads to people listening to the same dated music. For me listening to music I've never heard before is the big draw.

p.s. Howard Stern's channel ID is already up. Channels 100 and 101

I agree that the option is pricey, although I'm not in a situation where I will spend $80- 90k on an SUV, even IF it is a Porsche. I figure that the person who can spend that kind of money may not see another $1k or $4k as much money.

I also agree that millions of people would be upset at the loss of satellite radio. I believe it is catching on, but we just have to wait. Personally, I'd like to see a monopoly -- lik PL suggests -- one buying out the other. That way we could have all sports and howard stern.

I had Stern back on the east coast (WNBC) and for a while when I lived in NOLA. I think his show is hilarious.
