I would think that wing would get a defect pretty quick what a ugly sucker.

I think your eyes are painted on calling the AU the uglist car Ford has made. The AU is a nicer looking car than a lot a Ford cars they have put onto the public and reliable as well.

Neat AU

Hah, the Taurus was very nearly the Falcon replacement too, but they made the AU instead.

Think yourself EXTREMELY lucky and show your gratitude to the AU. Otherwise you would have been driving a Taurus!

So, maybe if I put that big ol' wing on a Taurus, it might be stable at highway speeds???

The Taurus, not a huge fan of. AU was a good choice, ford I think would have been worse off if they had gone that option. I am sure the taurus is a good car, but the AU is a much better option

I would be interested to know if ford had used the Taurus, as the BA is in part based on the AU, how would the BA looked?

if its placed on a car with the full kit then i reckon it aint bad.

place it on a stocko then i'd agree its uglified due to it not suiting its purpose etc
