Totally agree, XD's weren't good cars for all the reasons mentioned, but the Sundowner looked good. Remember I'm talking about as seen and processed by the eyes and mind of a primary age kid in the 70's (I was 6th class in 1979). I remember the guys that lived across from my Nan's that I grew up around buying new HX and HZ Sandmans and how neither looked as tough as the HJ.
