Default The much maligned shark fin antenna also shows up on the new 5-Series
Last week's issue of AutoWeek las a bunch of color pictures of the 2004 BMW 5-Series and the roof mounted shark fin antenna looks exactly like Audi's. Perhaps people will stop whining about it if it shows up on the competition models as well.

By the way, the new 5 looks pretty bad. Audi has a golden chance with the next generation A6 to make some serious inroads into the midsize sport sedan market. The new E-Class will also see some boost from disgruntled BMW owners.

Default I have seen some picks of the new A6. I just hope it looks better in person.
The front end had the same look as the Pikes Peak and it just didn't look right on a sedan. Looked a little too cow catcherish.
