Some one us like the symmetrical look of a center roof antenna. Since I use my XM Roady2 exclusively, I rather have my antenna mast removed and put a plug over it... or better, something like the shark fin on my wife's SAAB.

GM really messed up on what I call the "wart"!! Why does it have to be so BIG?? 
If you look at the HHR brochure, you'll see it photoshopped out!! Looks like the ad people thought it was ugly too!!
I had a friend tell me it looks like a unicorn!!
I'm looking at alternatives. I looked at some similar with a much smaller base, but with the way the roof angles down in the front, that would stand up at less of an angle. I'm keeping my eyes open and will let ya'll know if I find something.
Heck, with XM I never listen to FM anyway, so the temptation is to just shave it sometimes!
In the meantime, I got a can of color matched paint and painted it! The stubby, too. (I also did the XM blob and the rear window spray head at the back!) At least it doesn't stand out as much.

Probably not the first, but it's cool to disagree! The great thing about the HHR is that each owner can personalize it however they want!
I'd like to french my antenna into the driver's rear corner pillar above the taillights. Then mount an old school electric antenna down in the inner fender area. I think it would be cool to have it "slide up" when you start the car!

Even if it was in the front fender. I am going to be getting a stubby for mine shortly.
