True, couldn't agree more.
I think what happened was that Holden started making the SS look pretty darn good, leaving nowhere to go for HSV except OTT. Their taillights are IMO woeful - too much like they sourced them on eBay thru some Hong Kong Speed Shop. 
Maybe if they backed off on the wheel design, the body kit wouldn't look so OTT. (or vice versa?) I just wonder how good they'll look in 3 or 5 years? Or will we have to wait 20 years (like the Walkinshaw Commodore) for the next generation of car nuts to overlook its looks and declare it 'collectable' 
It's still a great car for its use, pretty good value, and goes like a cut cat. Not to mention its prowess in 'circle work'!!
