Okay Falcon lovers, we all know the falcon is THE car to own, so which model is the best! The most reliable, the fastest, the most economical, the best looking I don't care.
Go with your guts!

BA/BF I voted. Mainly for the turbo models as they are the only ones I would consider buying.

Why do everyone always forget the XK? Just because it was a bit of a lemon, you can't ignore it because it was the original. If it wasn't for the XK, the Falcon wouldn't even exist.
I'd have to say the XR is my favourite, for it's time. It won Wheels car of the year. It also saw the introduction of the GT and the Fairlane, plus they look great. Obviously a BA/BF is a better car than an XR now, but for it's time, the XR was brilliant

I think everyone is just voting for what model they own, even if it is crap.
I own a BA but am going to vote for the BF. There just such a clean car and there nice to drive. But I also like the ED

I love the XA coupe. The XB looks meaner but the XA looks sleek and more intergrated design wise, especially dropped on its guts.

XR: Started the 'revolution'
XA: Continued it! Nothing has or will have more impact on the Australian car market than those series of models. They dont look 1/2 bad either  :| [/url] |
