Wrong.
As I said, the VN body was dropped almost straight onto the VL's running gear.

Compared to what exactly?
The E series wasn't designed for a V8. So the Windsor was the only one they could squeeze in. If they had bothered to fix that problem for the original A series, maybe people wouldn't have hated it so much.

You really should see a doctor about your short-term memory issues, since I have already said the EA had a horrible interior.

The exterior styling was the one thing FoA got right.
Holden on the other hand literally didn't bother. They took the Opel body and simply made it wider, which is what made it look like a bloated turd.

The original Commodes were universally hated, even by the Holden diehards. They came close to ending Holden 30 years early.
At that point Holden could have rebadged the P76 and it would have sold better
