^Well my guess is that it may be an issue that the manufacturer is unable or unwilling to re-tool to make all of the parts properly classic. So they just use what they have and pop sprinkle on some of the styling queues.
It's like the new retro Mustangs and Camaros. They look fine but have an odd fakeness too them.
