OnStar can not GPS track if 'stolen car' is in an underground garage, parking garage or chop shop garage. My reason for opting for LoJack.

We have an '07 of October '06 build and no shark fin. The salesman told us that OnStar was switching to a digital system from analog and that it would return for '08.

I think the antenna free look is much sleaker. I like the lines a lot better without the shark fin...

My wife won't like it. She's a big Jimmy Buffett fan and she likes the shark fin.

Now I like the fin. I think that the new ones look a little plain.

To each his own I guess.

I was bored and was looking at RL's on eBay. I noticed the shark fin is back for the '08 and no significant changes compared to '07.

Funny, I have the 08 brochure, and guess what? No shark fin, except one picture on the last page on opposite the inside cover. It is almost as if they forgot to photoshop it out!

Of course, I did notice that the version on ebay is without navi, so maybe it is still a base version only item?

Oh, I didn't realize the base models still came with the shark fin for '07. I thought they completely got rid of it.

That's an interesting decision by Acura...yet again. lol

Makes things even more confusing. And you'd think more expensive models would get it instead of the base model. But then, it serves no purpose now since it no longer has the OnStar...

I have yet to see an '07 to see how it looks without it.

AFIK Only the early 07's had it. Mine does not.

Sri - I did not realize I was responding to old post (and I HATE the fact that this BBS only lets you edit for 5 min).

It also lets people see your car when you approach from under water!

why does anyone need the antenna

If you don't NEED the antenna. I mean if you get all you need without the stupid fin, then why do you need it? It doesn't add any value to the car.

As an aside, if you get in an accident and it becomes "dislodged" (as mine did) it's a couple hundred $$$ fix I believe...
