Qantas Classic Car Rewards

Just noticed on the website that points can now be used to book Classic Car Rewards with Avis:

What isn't Australia's 2nd currency good for?

Seriously though the value isn't great, from my two seconds of searching it looks like the points required are still based on the dollar at a rate of ~1c per point.

If you're unable to find a classic reward then you can still book at the much worse rate of 0.64c per point.

Moving forward it'd be great to see a fixed table by location like Car Category X costs X points per day but I don't think that'll ever happen.

Obviously, where possible it still makes sense to redeem them on flights (and longer flights and/or premium cabins where possible).
