The VE Maloo tail treatment looks a lot more convincing in the metal than in photos.

Don't bring the ED down to that level. The VE utes actually have more similarity to Territory taillights if anything.

Hell no.
VR/S lights look more like EF/EL lights (or vice versa) than what you're suggesting.

"Borrowing" design features is OK .. Ford Australia used 70's Dodge Charger hood bulge on the BA+ XR8s ..
.. too bad they did introduce the "air-grabber" too? |

I wouldn't call them ED tail lights.... but i saw it in the flesh at the Sydney Motor Show, and it looked even more uglier than the photo here!

I saw my first VE ute "in the flesh" yesterday. Im sorry but its horrid. It just looks like its been punched in the head from every angle; almost like its got chubby cheeks. BF's look waaay better.
