Ah well, they are reaping what they sowed.
Hey there.

Totally agree with you on this one.
The AU Fairlanes were awesome cars which had a real grandeur about them. One of my friends things the front looks dopey but I reckon the squarer headlights (compared to the very unpopular front headlights on the AU Falcon) looked awesome.
The BA was a patch job. "Oh fudge, we're out of money! Hey, I know. Let's just put a Falcon front and back on the new Fairlane! It will have to work!"

Sad, but that's what happens when you try to cut corners.
