Don't you have to activate your OnStart service when you buy a new GM vehicle? If so, just do not. If it comes activated, then F GM.

I wonder though if there is a way to get a new GM without onstar. I'm sure that I have seen a forest service truck without the little onstar antenna on it. Of course they might not have them since it's a gov't vehicle.

Lets see...I've got a GPS, maps, cell phone, amateur radio rig, and a gun or two. And spare keys, one in my wallet, the other in a magnetic box stuck way up under the truck in a hidden place.
Why would I need OnStar, especially paying $15 a month? I provided all of the features I would need from it with my own gear (and for cheaper), and my stuff doesn't invite big brother in (with the exception of the cell phone...but cell phones can be lost, or batteries removed).

Isn't On Star cell based? Just find and disconnect the antenna.

I can only vouch for the trucks/SUVs, there are usually three antennas. The first is the tall one for AM/FM radio on the front passenger side fender. The second is the small blocky looking XM Radio receiver above the windshield on the passenger side. The last is the small plastic OnStar cell antenna above the windshield on the driver side. This info is based off of my '04 2500HD, YMMV.
I'm pretty sure XM and OnStar are still optional equipment. Some of the basic models might not come with either. It is true that vehicles that come with OnStar get one year of service free. You get 3 months of XM free.
If you are really that worried about it just disconnect the antenna. Then you can take your tinfoil hat off while driving.
