It is unusual in an Australian made car mate, I bought a humble Holden
Commodore (from the GM stable) near the bottom of the model stack, sort of
an entry level car!
Car manufacturers get away with a lot over here, we are even the dumping
ground for any vehicle that won't sell in Japan.

Yeah,
Bought a new GM sedan last June and its hasn't got an external antenna,
the rear window heater is the antenna.

My parents 90's Buick had the antenna embedded in
the windshield so it's nothing new.
