I get the shooting break/body modification, but don’t understand why they touched the front grill. If you look at the car from the back to the front, it looks very well done until you look at the grill, which looks like a complete hack job. Completely out of place!

Looks like they had some successes and many disasters, have a look at the E type and there's a Volvo 1800ES concept there if you can find it
