Ford to offer HD Radio across the board

According to an article from Radio & Records, the Ford Motor Company will become the first U.S. automaker to offer HD Radio (Or Hybrid Digital) in all 2008 vehicles. This will include Lincoln & Mercury brands under the Ford umbrella. In addition, Ford will also be able to install HD Radios in vehicles going back to their 2005 lineup. This could be the boost HD Radio has needed since the IBOC form of radio has been dealing with a lack of interest from consumers. Ford now joins BMW on the HD bandwagon. Could General Motors & Chrysler be far behind?
