Extensive Sirius Installations for Ford
Ford Motor Company and Sirius Satellite Radio announced that Ford will begin offering Sirius as a factory installed option this summer. Ford is targeting the Sirius factory installed option for up to 21 vehicle lines.
Ford expects to generate up to one million Sirius subscribers over the 2006 and 2007 model year periods.
Each Ford and Lincoln Mercury vehicle sold with factory equipped Sirius will include a six-month or longer subscription.
Starting with the 2006 model year, Ford plans to offer factory installed Sirius on the F-150, Explorer, Lincoln Mark LT and Mercury Mountaineer vehicle lines.

Extensive? Maybe in late 2006, once the 2007 models start coming out, because there's only 4 models that have been named for the 2006 model year. I wouldn't call that extensive...

'Extensive' because the Ford contract will be available to 21 vehicles and the promise of an additional 1 million subscribers.
Not too shabby. Sure, the initial implementation isn't all that much - but it's still a great deal for Sirius to bag.
