No duh. What I'm saying is that it was those lucrative deals that got the early XM subscriber adds over Sirius, not superior programming. Point being had Sirius scored those early deals, I think XM would have been out of business a long time ago.
So what if XM scored deals with Honda and GM? Have you ever thought that Honda and GM did it all for free? No. They partnered and developed technology along with XM, such as NavTraffic.
Sirius had its own deals with car makers such as Mercedes, BMW, Ford, Chrysler to name a few.
Last I heard GM wasn't doing too well in car sales either.
Sirius did the exact same thing XM did - partnered with OEMs. They still didn't get the subscriber numbers until they added Stern.
