OnStar Antenna - Standard on Sky

Does the fact the OnStar is standard on the Sky that we will get the ugly OnStar antenna mounted on the back deck lid?

I like the little antena in the back. It's the one on the side I wish they'd get rid off
Symetry.. it's a good thing

Antenna sucks

I just sold my 99 Miata to make room for the Sky and it came with a power antenna as an option. Why can't Saturn offer the same on these first cars? I imagine they will offer it next year. Oh well, maybe when I sell this Sky next year and get a redline it will have a power antenna. Maybe the top will be more perfected too!

I don't like saying what I am about to but here goes. We must remember that this is basically a poor mans sports car. Extra options cost. It sure would be nice of Saturn to offer it as an option but I'll think about an after market rig. I do want to leave the car as origional as possible though. Except for those tires. Mine will get the Eagle F1's.

Does any one have a picture of where the OnStar antenna will be mounted?

Is the Satellite Radio antenna integrated into the OnStar antenna when you get both?

The OnStar Antenna looks fine, until you get the spoiler.

That spoiler just looked funky. I hope they have something nicer on the Redline.

I'm hoping the GXP Solstice has it optional still, cause I defintely don't want that nasty thing on my car.

Just tie a foxtail to it well I have seen a couple Skys with it on and i don;t thing it looks as bad as in the pictures, you can always take it off and have a body shop fill in the holes if you don't want Onstar or XM.
