IMO, it seems to make back look cluttered particularly on the otherwise sleek BA, is there a practical advantage? __________________ Ford to Victory!

Thats all the advantages I can see. __________________ XF died, Now It's a 6-cyl Cortina! Rear ended 3 times, 4 close calls. All while I was stationary, still counting the idiots..
