Default Forgotten Models.

I just had this thought driving the other day, and it stuck with me for a couple of days.

Theres a lot of cars that just sort of fade away from people's attention.

What sparked it, was seeing a VY Commodore. Sure theres thousands of them on the road. But it was the reasons why the VY and VZ are so forgettable.

The VT and then the VX were smash hits. Total game changers in the late 1990s. At that point in time, the AU was a horrible example of a Falcon from a styling point of view.

The AU was too well known for all the wrong reasons, The BA put the Falcon back on the map, then one upped it with the BA mkII and the BF and finally, the FG.

By 2007, it had all changed again for the Commodore, the VE was introduced and a huge who-haa was made about the thing, it reinvented the Commodore and made every model prior look old. The VY VZ years became the transition period for the Commodore, and were completely forgettable.
