The original clay mock up of the XD that was supposed to be for Australia was basically an overgrown cortina. It got changed to the XD shape we all know due to having to drop so much weight off to match the first of the commodores that came in so much lighter. Hence all the plastic bumpers as they quickly dropped the Chrome.
(my source was a book that was brought out when the EA was born) It was the history of the Ford Falcon. I wish I still had the book I lost it moving house about 4 times ago.
