I saw a nice looking orange/bronze XE on the weekend out in Lilydale at Kuranga Nursery on Saturday. Damn that car was nice.
I like all Falcons for their respective features. I prefer the EA-D Falcon exteriors over the EF/L, but the EF/L interiors were fantastic. The AUII and III (with a spoiler) looked tops. The X-Series all had their charms - I love the XB and C (not a fan of the A though). The B-Series for me made the Falcon aesthetically pleasing for the general masses, while the FG has heightened the bar once again with the interior and classy looks, not to mention the distinguishable exterior between the base model and the top models - which is harder to notice on a Commodore... I think all have their charms and if I had the money, I reckon I would almost own one of each era...

I like that the FG's interior in the XT isn't too "base model" and yet still isn't too close to the more upmarket models.

For me the best looking ex factory to date is the BF2 Fairmont Ghia V8.
I personally think they look better balanced than any FG I've seen so far. Honourable mentions from the past go to the XA GT - sedan or coupe, (Had me a sedan in the early eighties, sold it for $2,500, gees I wish I hadn't...) Also love the XD 351 Fairmont Ghia, had a couple of them to... XR GT = timeless classic, got to drive one when on my L plates. (my dad worked for the Ford dealer..) XM Coupe, just looks so right. That's my short list, but i guess really almost any Falcon with a good V8 is more than acceptable. Cheers, |

1. Black Pearl EBGT - When they were first released in 1992 I swore to myself that one day I would own one.
2. Cobalt Blue EDXR8 Sprint - When I first learnt of them I knew I had to have one. 3. Any XYGT or Phase III - Always lusted after them but could never afford one, instead very luckily won one of the best replica's built..... At the end of the day we all love Ford's and no one will ever agree 100% with everybody elses opinions, but the main thing is we all know any FORD/FALCON will nearly always look better than a H@#LDEN!! lol

always liked the sqaure muscular look of the XY GT, the old XR was pretty good too, but the prettiest looking muscle car out of the lot was ba gt imo, the g6e the most classy and prestigiouse by far, i love the look of the g models(don`t change it Ford).

#1 - XA-XC Coupe with the Cobra variant as the standout.
#2 - XA-XC Sedan, an XA GT was my first love. #3 - EF-EL XR6/8 without the add on skirts. In my view unnecessary on what was already a great looking car. Honourable mention - AU XR6/8 Utes and BA/BF GT. Vixen with White stripes thanks!!

A little time has passed now..
Every time I see a b series in good condition whether it be a XT or GT, I think that is the best looking falcon ever made (and maybe ever). The FG for me just doesnt do it, the AU before it, I think the b series in years to come will be the real sought after cars. Last edited by DJM83; 23-04-2012 at 05:52 PM.

1) EL XR8 Falcon (Preferably that Green/Aqua/Turquoise colour which I can't remember what it's called... With the Full Tickford body kit/spoilers/etc).
2)XA GT Coupe (Preferably Calypso Green - I think there is a trend happening here with colour) 3)The Falcon 300+ Coupe (Concept Car - I know - but I want it)

XAs and XBs just smoking this thread and with good reason. You can't park one one anywhere in public without a crowd gathering to have a look especially if its a coupe!

Aint that the truth...Although at the time when I sold my XA Coupe and GXL sedan in the 80's not a week passed when something didn't go wrong with them, rust galore and you couldn't give them away. Traded my 5.8L GXL in for a boring XD Fairmont 4.1 in 1986 and suffered a 5k changeover in the dealers favour !
