What the heck is up with the Euro's putting the dolphin style antenna on the BMW and Audi. It breaks the contour of the roof. UGLY!

Another reason why I dislike the E90. Don't care at all for that dolphin wing. But what's worse for me is the 70's style interior of the E90, they messed up on that too.

The more I see pics of the IS the cleaner it is looking. I just love the interior a good mix of sport & luxury.

A lot of those are for XM/Sirius if I'm thinking of the right thing?

This pic is probably going bye-bye after the auction is over, but for any of you that don't know exactly what we're talking about:



The new Audi A6 has it as well, but I couldn't get a good pic of it

Now that I think about it, the Fuba-style antenna on the 1st Gen IS was a huge hit with a lot of people.
