"Ford to Offer HD Radio on 2008 Vehicles"

"The option will be available for about $279 for standard HD radio, or
$299 for HD radio with iPod compatibility, Sears said. There is no
monthly subscription fee and the installation will take about 30
minutes and cost $40 to $50, he said."

Very interesting that Ford is not footing the bill for installation
and that installation is done at point-of-sale. Ford is heavily
promoting their new Sync option for the same $350. Still, this is not
good news.

For those old enough to remember, just a plain AM radio was a option
on the new cars many years ago. Later, when an AM radio was standard
equipment, an AM-FM radio was an option. It won't be long and HD
radio will be standard equipment in all new cars.

Now Ford, Lincoln, Mercury, BMW, and Jaguar offer HD as an option on
their 2008 line of vehicles. And the 2008 Hyundai Gensis will also
offer it -- OR, as I have read, HD Radio in the Gensis may be STANDARD
EQUIPMENT.

Too bad, IBOCcrock, you are spending half your life fighting a losing
battle. Looks like all your stupid, uneducated predictions are going
down the drain. HA! HA!
