Is it just me or does the little shark fin look out of place, ie "stupid" on that car?

So if you change the spoiler you can't listen to the radio anymore?

If I am understanding the article correctly the standard AM/FM antenna is physically IN the spoiler while the sharkfin is for the XM and OnStar services.

I don't get it. My wife's old BMW can have sat nav and regular radio all done wihout a shark fin but GM thought that was a good idea?

I'm indifferent on the antenna in the spoiler right now.


pic for ref only.
