we can't tell you which is the better buy without the COST of each of them.
In the end just buy whatever body shape you like more. Get the EB XR6, we need more of those

The ED is $5250 and the EL is $5999. I did have an EB series 2 Fairmont but it got stolen last friday so im looking for another e-series. Im leaning towards the ED cos i love the shape but wanted to know if there is a major reason to go the EL or should i stick with the better looking car

LOL this should be EASY to pick, el is nearly the same price as the XR and its more powerfull? and not to mention u would be able to knock the price down a little and all you do it put a manual in, and they fly :P

Yeap unless the EL was a manual of course, it would be the ED all the way.
