Never been a fan of the AU generally, but the AU XR8's are my pick...The BA/BF's are nice but there's so many around the place they aren't as unique as the AU.

The XR AU's are so vastly different from the other AU variants....(Forte/Fairmont)

EF/EL XR's ain't bad either but AU's my pick

The best looking XR is the XR GT. How could anybody even consider the plastic fantastics?

How true,

the 1967 XR 289 High Performance V8, bronze(i think) with black stipes down the side. Some had a square centre in the rear tail lights. Yes the original and still the best. Prob why FORD went back to XR branding.

My dad's uncle has one (Owned it since new), but I've only ever seen it out driving once. What a shame, because they are a beautiful car.

agreed, they look so different from the base model and yet look so dam good. and this coming from an AU owner!!!

The BA-BF models look tough in there own right but alot of the time with them its the colour of the car sometimes that makes it stand out from the crowd (yellow ones look unreal)

has to be the EF/EL with the full kit and atleast FTR or EL GT rims. The EL is better IMO, just smoother to look at, but i have an EF XR with the EL front....im sure alot of others have that lol.. they still grab my eye when ever one goes past...

I really like the EB-ED XRs. I actually like all listed, but the EBs-EDs are bloody tough, and classy.

If I could vote for 2 it would be EL & AU11. These can be made to stand out from the crowd. Voted EL though.

But agree with Nugget ...... XR 67 was way the best!!!!
