So... BTW, and FWIW, http://www.businessweek.com/ap/financialnews/D8MJTQH80.htm. Looks like an XM/Sirius merger may be coming. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif)

Since sampling the Sirius for the last couple of months, I do like their music selection (classic rock and country stations primarily) better than XM. Both carry the same newstalk stations I listen to as well. I do like XM's traffic coverage better than Sirius' for the Phoenix area, however, although IMO neither does a better job of traffic coverage than the local AM/FM stations. Sirius has NASCAR, but since I'm no longer making 7-hour road trips, that's not necessarily a high priority for me. My XM is portable between my truck and Z, but the Jetta is integral to the OE radio and I would rather be portable (which I know I can get with Sirius as well). So, who has which one and likes/dislikes? Is it a tomay-to/tomah-to issue? Less filling? Tastes great?
