General Motors announced today that it plans to build 1.55 million vehicles with factory-installed XM Satellite Radio in 2006. GM built 1.4 million vehicles with XM in 2005 and 1.17 million in 2004.

For model-year 2006, nearly 90 percent of GM's U.S. retail models will offer factory-installed XM as either standard equipment or an option. GM was the first automaker to offer satellite radio when it introduced XM as a feature of various Cadillac models in 2001.
