I don't know of any that got a "FREE" radio. I believe Toyota is still charging $600 or something for XM. Even GM still charges $195. XM has been FREE on cars as far back as 2004 models. "Acura Begins Shipping XM-Equipped 2004 Acura RL Models Model is First Luxury Performance Sedan With XM as Standard Equipment " theautochannel.com To a car buyer, Standard Equipment means it is included in the price. You can't strip it out to get a lower price, so it is in effect FREE. Just like the steering wheel, and the pistons. So someone buys one of these so called "standard equipment cars" gets a radio included in the basic price that also receives XM (FREE), and they get several months of service included (FREE). They also receive various telemarketing phone calls trying to teach them just how valuable the product is. Although it appears that some new car buyers who elect not to continue to receive the service at their own expense, have been pestered beyond normal "educational directives".. and have complained to the FTC.
