"Sirius XM vs. HD Radio: The Battle For the Dashboard"

"Bob: “I don’t know, no one has ever asked”. Too funny. Let’s see
what Toyota has to say. According to Bell Road Toyota in Phoenix, they
do not supply any vehicles with HD Radio. It’s not even an option to
add. I wonder if this makes Toyota lose customers. So I asked Doreen
Fischer, sales manager, does not having HD Radio cost you customers?
Doreen: “I have never lost a customer due to not having an HD Radio”.
Next is Chrysler. Nothing. Same story. In fact, Mary from Chrysler
Earnhardt had never even heard of HD Radio before. Interesting. A
supposedly hot item that is competition I keep hearing about for
satellite radio, and this sales manager of an auto dealer had never
even heard of it. Getting a bit disappointed I was sure to find
support for HD radio in a known dealer with HD Radio. After all, HD
Radio themselves list Scion as a partner. So I called Bell Scion and
talked to a very nice gentleman in parts named Dusty Edmund, who also
used to work in sales. No Scion comes standard with HD Radio. But
the best part were his comments. Dusty: “I have never been trained in
selling or distributing HD Radio as a product. And I used to sell
cars at many dealers, not just Scion or Toyota.”

The Toyota dealer here told me they've not had a single request for
digital radio.

"This is not something people usually ask for" was their response.

HD radio is a bust here. Does anyone really care?
