I totally agree, Josh. That EL does look mint (although it looks like the bonnet isn't sitting on properly) and it certainly looks nicer than my crapbox. Some of the "povo-pack" models are some of the nicest cars in the club (Rmyers and Mr. Dose both started as EA Falcon GLs, and look at them now!)

yep mate they do look nice, might not be the most nimble of cars but i still love most falcons/fairlanes/fairmont/whatever else ford wants to call them haha

the imports sure do handle much nicer but a e series with uprated suspension and larger wheels still go fairly good for their price!

sound much better and look better too imo but hey its all personal opinion
