I recently rented (from Avis) a Buick LeSabre (Christ, what a piece of junk!) to drive on vacation. It had the OEM Buick radio/XM receiver in it.

After spending a week with the XM in the Buick and comparing it to the Sirius in my 300C, I have no idea why anyone would ask such a question. Sirius wins handily. The programming is better. The sound is much better (granted, this was an apples-to-oranges comparison which, therefore, has little useful value). And, the reception in general is much better.

Perhaps the sports coverage might be better...or not. I have no idea, as I don't listen to sports in the car...or on the radio at any time or place. This might be the only possible saving grace for XM.

But...I doubt it.
