This is my first GM purchase since 1979. I'm hoping it's not my last.

You will be happy to know that in the future OnStar and XM will no longer be options. They have been added to the list of standard equipment.

Even when they were optional, an owner was not required to have to "continue to pay for service". They could elect not to subscribe to XM when the 3 month free trial ended or not to subscribe to OnStar after the first year of service ended (either included in the cost of the option or as part of the standard equipment).

It would be a shame for GM to loose you as an owner just as they are becoming the first manufacturer to make a committment to their owner's safety before-during-after an accident, by making features such as StabiliTrak and OnStar standard equipment.
