Interesting.  With the mk5 the very early ones had the aerial built into the rear window but for cost cutting reasons VW changed it to the bee sting aerial on the roof pretty quickly...

Wonder if the pattern will repeat itself with the early models getting a lot of motoring press friendly little touches then once the launch year is over cheapen it up a little?

One thats about a foot (or maybe less) long, with a thicker bit on the end.
Pretty much standard on most cars now...
