Personally, I think Toyota and Holden flipped a coin for who got the better looking front grille and bar ...... Holden lost.
A Lexcen is a cross-dressing Commodore. The same period Holden Nova is a Corolla.

I read back in the 1990's, when Forums started, that the Lexcen grille was designed by Toyota Oz in a day,poster claimed to be ex GMH so may be correct.
VN-VP grilles,with the exception of the Calais,were a joke and despite calls from their Dealer network to re-design nothing was done until the VR.
