Satellite radio?

I'm a new HHR owner thinking about satellite radio. Sirius or XM - any thoughts? I've always heard better things about Sirius. Thanks!

I have had Sirius for two years. Bought the 07 HHR and XM was turned on. I thought that the talk shows Howard Stern, Bubba, Maxim etc. are much better than XMs. Plus they have Nascar, football, basketball,NCAA sports plus tons of great music. I recently bought the new Stiletto 2 and use it through the aux input on the front of the stock radio and it sounds great. Xm and Sirius are trying to merge so hopefully they will both get even better.

Sirius is better in my opinion because of the programing and selections. I've had it for 3 years and love it. I NEVER listen to FM radio. Plus, when the merger happens, Sirius will probably be the dominent radio company.

I have both. XM in the HHR, Sirius in my other cars. XM has a better playlist for music...Sirius plays alot of the same songs over and over.

I dont do talk shows so much

XM is still free in my HHR, so I listen to it. I have yet to install my Sirius in my HHR...and dont know if I ever will.

To me, one isnt better...just different.

Been a Sirius subscriber for over 4 years. Very, very happy with it. When we bought our 2500HD a year ago, it came with XM. Not as happy with XM. Sirius has a lot of stuff that XM just doesn't (NFL, NHL, etc.). We listen to both, but prefer Sirius.

I just finished installing XM in my car today, and all I gotta say is:

LED ZEPPLIN HAS THEIR OWN CHANNEL ON XM!!

How can you possibly top that?
