Which commodore/falcon models are the most evenly matched?

[SteveJH]

What are we comparing them on?

Looks?
Safety?
Performance?

Lets compare the VR/VS with the EF/EL

Remember that the VR/VS commodores while lighter then the EF/EL, got that lightness at the expense of the passenger cell rigidity (from memory), the VT which got the stronger structure, was much heavier.

From a performance perspective though, the decreased weight probably more then compensated for their less powerful motor.

Looks? Falcon has 'maintained' its looks better over time, possibly due to not having lights on the boot that can lose alignment, however properly maintained, both cars can look awesome. Some really good example's of E-series XR's in the photo section, and i've seen some really good looking VS commodores around.
