Thanks, John. Here's to hoping.

Ford is offering HD Radio now, even as backfit to models as far back as
2005.

The cars that offer HD Radio are listed here. Not nearly enough yet.
check it out.

No word yet from GM itself, although it looks like you're onto
something. These guys rarely dsclose what they have in the works.

Aftermarket might work, but not so good if the radio display is
integrated with other system, such as OnStar.

This is probably like FM radio. It needs to be painlessly available in
cars before the medium can take off. The converse, of course, is also
true. If OTA TV becomes difficult to receive in apartments, because the
distribution plant was usurped by one (or more) MVPD, even people who
would otherwise use it often lose that option.
