I dunno Mike.

If I ever see one, I'm gonna break off that antenna and gouge my eyes out with it.

It's that ugly.

My thing is the G37 convert looks like a giant SC 430. We know the hell the SC430 got from the same people that love the G37.

Funny aint it.

I think thats looks lame as hell. I have to say I saw a IS350 C on the road today with the top down and it looked really nice

Does anyone know why the verts can't use the window-mounted antennas like the sedans (maybe mounted along the front windshield)???

I can't stand the roll-ups on the SC430 and the NSX

I like the SL's antenna:

Maybe kinda. Except without the SC's bullfrog face and stubby butt. But I just don't see what all the fuss is about here. It's just a frakkin antenna.

Antenna or not, I have to agree, that does look way too similar to a Sebring.
