Ford to make Sirius Factory Standard in Canada
Here's some incredible news for Sirius Canada: Ford of Canada has announced that they will make Sirius Satellite Radio a factory-standard feature in "virtually" all Fords sold in Canada, by the end of 2007.
Sirius will be available as a standard feature in the following Ford of Canada models: Ford Five Hundred, Focus, Fusion, Mustang, Edge, Escape, Expedition, Expedition Max, Explorer, Explorer Sport Trac, Freestyle, Ranger, F-150, F-250, F-350, Lincoln Mark LT, MKX, MKZ, Navigator and Navigator L.
That's a total of 20 vehicle lines. Absolutely great news, and hopefully a sign of things to come for the U.S.

This truly is great news. Now to get my head around this.. is this all ford/Lincoln/mecury products excluding the periferal brands (land rover, Jaguar, Aston Martin) or is this a limited number of model lines? I sure hope its everything Ford/Lincoln/Mercury as this will put more pressure on Chrysler, GM, Toyota, Mitsubishi, Subaru, Kia, Honda, Mazda, and any other car maker to go full factory install across all models in the USA. Things are looking up for Sat Rad.
