Default got to be joking!

saw a VE today in Coffs Harbour, haven't seen one before but it looked bizarre with flared guards! the appearance from front on was ridiculous, are they serious with this design or is it a throw back to the equally ugly flared guard Toranas, I guess thats what holden fans like
