XA-C Coupes. To me there has never been another Falcon that looked so sexy.

XB and XC were my faves...I don't like the front of the XA much...
FG would be second. Car looks magnificent. If it was a Holden, Gover would not have clean pants for the rest of his life.

I like the XY the best. Then the XA-XC coupes, then BA/BF, then FG.

Personally I think the EL was the best shape for produced.

Especially in XR guise.

No wonder all the US big three are looking at 'retro' styling. atm xa-xc coupes have 50% vote.

It's just gotta be the XA-XC Coupe!! It's the perfect shape. The J-Lo or Beyonce of cars I guess. Those wide curvaceous flanks and the boot-y...... : :

(Regains composure) Yep, that's it!!

Next in line is the XA-XC Sedan and Ute. Other favourites are the XR-XT Sedan, ZA-ZB Fairlane and BA-BF in FPV guise.

the coupes look the goods but I am sorry in reality they are impractical as a family truckster having 2 doors and bugger all rear legroom and they are effin heavy as all heck and it is impossible to find a decent one anywhere they are all buggered they were good back then but today they just wouldn't work and the turning circle?? have fun in carparks nowadays in that car nice to look at yes but I look past the shape and see an old car plagued with every day problems that will make owning/driving it a pain in the rear end. I voted BA-BF I think they are nicer than the FG.

I will go and apply 2 flame suits now :

It is a bit ironic that a shape that was discontinued due to its almost complete failure to sell is now so popular.

Not really. The scarcity increases the current appeal because people aren't sick of seeing them.

fairly sure he is referring to xa/xc coupes. In the end the xc coupe had a stripe package to sell them off (cobra), albeit a very nice stripe package

i think back then the coupes practability for families hindered their sales

oh yeah, another xa xb xc coupe vote here :

second would be the xm xp coupes

All the coupes and Landaus. I love the Cobras for what they were but the Landau and XB had the nicest interiors.
