...quite a bit smaller and less bulbous, of course, that may have been an older one and they may be using bigger ones now. Regardless, I wish Audi's was more like that. It was quite a bit smaller and didn't have the bulbous base...

Default As I've said before, BMW has the Shark Fin, Audi decided to go with the whole Shark

Default That's a really good way to put it based on what I saw...

...the BMW unit appeared to just be a fin, whereas the Audi units are larger and include both a bulbous body and a fin.

Default Here's my brother's 7, and I find it opposite of ugly.

Default Small pics but I believe that is just like the one I saw...

...of course, BMW wouldn't have the satellite radio function in theirs, right?
