On the heels of XM Satellite Radio's debut on Cadillac Sevilles and DeVilles this fall, General Motors Corp., will offer XM in more than 20 '03 models, making it one of the fastest technology roll-outs in GM history.In November 2001, GM will become the first auto manufacturer in the world to offer XM Satellite Radio as a factory-installed option on 2002 Cadillac DeVilles and Sevilles. Beginning next fall, the start of the '03 model year, the XM option will expand to more than 20 models throughout the GM lineup. Specific brands and models will be announced closer to introduction.
"This is yet another example of General Motors commitment to leadership in innovative products and services," states Ron Zarrella, president, GM North America. "Beginning with Cadillac, the tip of the corporate spear in technology, we will have a massive expansion of this unique feature across our carlines."
"We're delighted that General Motors, the nation's largest automaker, will expand XM's service throughout its car and truck line," states XM President and CEO Hugh Panero. "GM, as an auto technology leader, is making a powerful statement about consumer demand for our service as we prepare to launch Sept. 12."
Consumers will have the option to include their monthly XM subscription fees into their GMAC vehicle lease or financing the lease or finance of their vehicles when financing through dealers and GMAC. Customers with GMAC financing can choose to include the XM subscription in their car payments rather than see a separate bill for XM's service.
