1. EL XR8 with full tickford kit, 16s and 185kw model

2. BA XR8/GT (boss powered cars), loaded with all options, leather, climate control and premium sound.

3. G6ET

XR GT - I know a lot of people will say the XY, but for me I prefer the more subtle, understated XR. But I'd be happy to have any XR-XY, they're all pretty good looking as far as I'm concerned.

XB - Love the '70s Coke-Bottle styling, it's such an iconic shape and the design worked so well, better than the Val and the Kingswood which look kind of awkward in later models. The XAs and XCs were good looking cars too, but I hate the big square XC Fairmont lights, they don't work with the design language, and the XA is a little too bland for my liking.

EL - The best looking of the modern Falcons, sleek and sporty. A neat EL Ghia or XR always commands my attention. Not a fan of the flat front EF.

Been done before through a poll but I'll still add my 2 cents.

XB coupe, then XA coupe.

Like the ED shape but cant bring myself to say its the best.

B series would have to be next along side the T3 TS50

My honestopinion really is the EL xr6/8 with full kit inc wing.

Best lemon? i think the EA 3.2L takes the cake on that one....

No brainer - AU is by far best looking Falcon ever. You only have to ask anyone with two functioning eyes and they'll tell you! It's styling features were so futuristic - and that's why other manufacturers have copied it.
