Again, it's all down to PERSONAL prefeence - hence the point of the poll!
Sorry if I offended anyone, and the EF is nice, I just prefer the other E-series models over it.

I like all the e-series but I would have to say the EL just over the EF mainly because of the Fairmonts, XRs and GTs. I admit that the front of the EF GLi/Futura has a bit more aggression than the EL front, but fitting a mesh grille and some driving lights to the EL (like the Predator concept) certainly dresses it up a bit. The Fairmonts look nice and it's easy to dress them up like an NF/NL Fairlane (In my opinion, still some of the nicest looking cars on the road)

But 'mighty' is not really a word to decribe the EA - unless you've done some modifications, of course. It certainly looks the part though... crap, probably shouldn'tve said THAT.

Not to all grills niko. Just in the EF-EL category. (i should have said)

EF fairmont grill's are nice.

EL chrome fairmont grill's Yeeee-uck! :P

...The chrome really doesnt look right to me. Makes it look overtly posh or something... keep it to the body colour i say

C'mon EF were the nicest, the EF series started it all for the new generation of falcons. Rounded door handle, mirrors, dash and console, refined interior, the engine kicked ***, the front and back made the car actually areodynamic, unlike the boxy EA-ED (No offence to EA-ED owners, I have respect for all Ford owners/ fans). I am just trying to look at this argument from a logical perspective.

Go the EF's.

Please spell correctly.

Nah, seriously I like the EL's the best due to them being the newest with better features or Dave's EA. That car is the ultimate E series.

I LOVE my ED but voted for EL. It probably was the best e-series, they had near on 10 years to refine it.
Perhaps i should have bought one but i needed another fix of the EAtoED shape so I went with the ED after owning an EA for way to long.

I feel sorry for my EB, but the EL is finally where it should be, it is the best E-series car by far. Last Falcon to win at the mountain too! Although thats a bit irrelevant

Its what you would expect.
The highest votes are for the ed, last model of that shape and the el also last of that shape.
Very close between the 2 of them though.
