Best Falcon model

[chief]

AU of course especially the T Series.

[b2tf]

Definitely not AU's. They suck. Why would you ever own one.

Bit of yes is no and no is yes in your post :

The one that sold the most. Now, was that XB or XF?????

[AussieJason]

My BF is a great car, but I'd say XB overall.

XD saved it first. Biggest styling change since XA, and still looks tops in my books.

Nothing has or will have more impact on the Australian car market than those series of models. They dont look 1/2 bad either :

I agree with you on the first point. As for looks, not looking half bad is an understatement. No longer will you find designs like back then. Everything is either run of the mill, conservative, boring, out of proportion, or just plane ugly. Those oldies were none of the above.

My favourites, XR to XB.

....actually for a car that was supposed to be crappy but has proven to be very reliable...........the AU outsold most. Who has some figures? Cant find them at the moment.

According to Wiki, XF sold 280,000 in 3.5 Years. AUI/II sold about 200,000 over 3 years, not sure on AUIII as its got the wrong sales figures listed. I doubt it would be any more than 50,000.

AU Falcon: 111,420
AUII Falcon: 93,250
AUIII Falcon: 31,320

Total AU-Series Falcon sales 1998 - 2002: 235,990

By comparison...

XF Falcon: 278,101 (1984-1988)

Then you've got the EA Falcon, often considered by many to be Ford's worst ever locally built car...

EA/EAII Falcon: 223,612 (1988-1991)

The AU's sold quite poorly compared to the E-Series and later X-Series Falcons.

[WizBang]

I would have to say the good old XF as they just keep going and after all these years are still a good looking car

i've owned a few, but i loved the BF. Sensational car. Everything is good with it, the colours, the interior, the 6 speed auto, the whisper quiet 6, the chimes, the ............... EVERYTHING.

If i ever have $$$ again one day, i'd be sitting in either:

a BF2 Ghia 5.4

or

a BF1/2 XR6T

[Miller]

It was a tossup between the XD and the XF. Love the looks of the XD, but the XF is a good solid, well built car. Also can be tuned with a flathead screwdriver.

[xr8-200]

Its gotta be the AU...or the XP, or the XY, or the XB, or the EL, or the XD, or the BA........Damn it! dont make me choose.

[AEF_Silver94]

au 2/3 for me

[Chippar]

I voted for the AU II/111.

I have owned an XB; an XC; 2 @ XD's - one was a Fairmont; an XE; an EL and my current car an AUII. Most were new or current models when I bought them and not one model really stands out above the rest.

I found them all great & suited my purposes and the only reason that I voted for the AUII/III, over the rest, is because I've had it the longest, 5.1/2 years now, and that's a record for me, so it must be pretty bloody good.

Agreed.

[Ford_Boy]

although my dad has a ba i voted an xb. the ba turns heads, has plenty of power and the bf just improved it with the 6 speed auto, better fuel effiency. bigger brakes. the list goes on. but i just love the look of the old xb's so i voted for it, the xc's were good looking too.

[Ryan]

Oh where to start...

I actually like every Falcon model, based on looks. (Except the AU. XRs aren't bad though)

Never owned a Falcon before, so I don't really know what the "Best" is.

[Kobayashi]

I own a 4 door XC, but i voted for the XA

XA coupe is a dream car of mine, Hoping the dream comes true this year.

[GTP-814]

the XC coupe by far, especially the cobra. Awsome looking road car

[The Stylist]

Ok first things first, who the hell voted for the EA?

Obviously the newest Falcon model tends to be the best, which it should be. I don't think too many would be impressed if the EBII was the best Falcon Ford ever came up with lol.

[GT290]

The BA has to be my choice over the BF as it was the turning point for ford

[uranium_death]

Forgot the BFII. There is a difference b/t the BF and BFII. ZF Transmission makes a bloody big difference.

I voted BF because mechanically, the BFII is a good car. Also safe.

I love the older Falcons, but the BFII has the full package.

[GlennBA]

I like AU/BA/BF models the most.
The BAII F6 typhoon or the T series would have to be my favs.

[bonspeed]

i like the shape of the ED
i also like the XR

[Gobes32]

Tough question, I own an EL and i love it to bits but what ford did to make the BA is remarkable. Big risk and it paid off. Gets my vote.

[Night Runner]

AUIII for me.
