I agree. The black box looks so cheap on a lux car. I would hate to have to put that "pill box" on my trunk. I think the fin looks ok. I certainly does not look like a tacky add on.

Who came up with the name "shark fin"? Personally I think it looks more like a dolphin fin.
Why not just call it a dorsal fin?
And for those of you with "fin envy", you may remember when cell phones were new, you could purchase a fake plastic antenna to attach to your car. Evidently, somebody thought attaching an antenna gave a look of importance. Perhaps you can do the same with the dorsal fin.

well personally I'm happy I have a 06 and no fin... maybe it's just the angle of the pic or something but I think it looks terrible
I don't know what it is about the fin I just don't like it. I think they look stupid on BMW and Audi's and now our cars get them... sigh ...hope its just for xm radio and not standard.

I was at Kuni Portland yesterday for an oil change, and they already had several '07 models. The dorsal fin
looks better in person. For some reason it looks really tall in that picture, but in person it's much more sleek. I asked the service rep and he thought that it could be installed on an '06 but he didn't have the details.

shark fin
but maybe it's because i've gotten used to all the '06s without it. i never really liked the fin to begin with on the bmws and audis which is why i ended up with the IS. but the fact that they are adding it on standard is what sucks. oh well, glad i got an 06!

for those that don't like the dorsel fin, it just takes some time to get used to. like with all things, at first you may not like it, but eventually you will. at first i didn't like it seeing it on all the bmw's, but now i think its pretty cool. if you really don't like it, just be happy you have a '06
