Yes it does. Those poor EFs aren't getting much credit, they were a turning point in Falcon's history.

Hard to choose between EB/ED or EL personally, I think EL only just over EB, then ED. Sorry, but the EA rear garnish just ruins the look of EAs IMO.

pffft, if there were no EA's then EB's would have gotten all the crap stuff, so the other models all rely on the EA to make them less crap. If that makes sence. Which it doesn't. You know what I mean.

I voted for ED but that is because there was not a separate voting part for EB2 which is closer to an ED than it is to an EB1.

Had an EB2 new in 1993 then an EF new in 1995 now I drive an EB2 again. This speaks volumes for what I thought of the EF.

I think we'll find EL and ED are tieing at the moment, ED's earn more money pimping EL's grandma's.

Having driven an EL, the ED has a nice solid steering wheel and a fantastic brake feel. Plus I haven't had to replace the brake light switch under the brake pedal, yet...
