Good News! I really miss my Sirius in my car. My previous car that I traded in had it, and I didn't realize how much I would miss having Sirius in my car until it was gone.

I want Sirius for Howard and the Raw Dog channels... everything else is just a bonus... will I pay $600 though? No way. If thats the case, I'll just stick to FM

You're crazy!

I got Sirius over a year ago, way before Howard and I'll NEVER go back to FM. When I go on vacation it is PAINFUL in a rental car. My wife has XM and she'll never go back to FM either. I'd sooner listen to her complain than listen to FM.

When it comes down to it, even if you get the bottle of the barrel IS, 600 is nothing.

Sirius is the best!!! It is worth every single penny. No question!

I got it way before Howard as well....The commercial free music channels are amazing....plus...
Howard Stern, NFL, NBA, Nascar (2007), Maxim Radio, the list goes on and on....

I wonder if they solved the reception issues. I've read that the Lexus windshield-mount Sirius antenna is notorious for frequent dropouts.
