Hemi Guys won't have to give up their Howard Stern Show (or their Martha Stewart, as the case may be) until at least 2012. DaimlerChrysler recently extended its exclusive deal with Sirius Satellite Radio by seven years, including all US-sold Chrysler Group and Mercedes-Benz vehicles and Freightliner trucks. Sirius expects the Chrysler Group alone to add more than 750,000 subscribers during the 2006 model year. Buyers can choose Sirius as a factory-installed option for $195, which includes a year's subscription to the service and unlimited utterances of "FaFaFoFo."
