Digital radio.

You know, like digital TV--either it's completely on, in which case you hear it, or it's completely OFF and you can't hear a thing.

No more listening through the static and the hiss. Yeah, like that's such a bad thing...

Damn spellchecker...

Sirius/XM or nothing for me.

The radio infrastructure sucks. Big deal. The automaker is not responsible for a technology that is having trouble taking off. If the consumer lives where there is HD Radio, then it works fine. If the consumer lives where there is no HD Radio, which is almost everywhere, then it isn't gonna work. That is not the automaker's fault.

HD Radio works fine, where there is a signal.
