They want their wing back.

They wouldn't mind the engine either.

Interesting that the green falcon wagon thing is a win yet the same thing was done with two Commodore sedans and that's a fail.

Because Ford got us accustomed to this look by grafting the EF front onto the XD ute. The shape still looks familiar, when you look at an XH Ute. Holden did nothing of this sort (putting a 1995 design on a 1979 body). Also, this was done using Factory parts, not a cut and shut job

to each their own. I reckon it would be out of proportion in Sedan form, but wagon somehow looks different.

I think it looks wicked, they've pulled it off nicely. It looks extreme with the colour, shape combo and the wheels which is perfect.

Wow. That's a nice car. The tacho on the bonnet was a GTO trademark. The 69 Judge also had one.

epic win-due-to-cars-awesomeness
Was at my ex-girlfriends house yesterday for the only reason you'd go over to an ex-girlfriends house
Had my XC ute parked on the front lawn right
Her dad comes home and pulls into the driveway, and i set the world record for getting dressed, then attempted dry my hair with a towel before hearing her dad yell out my name :|
Followed by a "since when did you have a cool car!?" (i didnt have the xc when i dated her)
He then proceeded to comepletely ignore everything and talk to me about how he used to have an XC and everything else some of you old blokes go on about before i quickly decided it would be best to leave :|
Disaster-avoidance Win!

Ex (with priviliges)

I know the green XD/EF wagon looks a little out of kilter but it is all made from factory bits that can be put next to one another without alternation and that, to me, is the difference between epic pass and epic fail. If the XR6 front was gratfed onto an XA, you would get a different response from me.
