Funny you mention the xr6T, I know you mean the xr range specifically, but in reality the only real external difference easily identifiable between an xr6t and an xr6 is the badge. Such a shame.

I think the BA GT / GT-P Falcon would be one of the best designs Ford Australia have ever come up with. The AU II and III XR and T series are also, in my opinion some of the most aggressively styled Fords around.
When you look at Bucky, Cattat, Mick (Blueprint XR8), B2F, Falkeen, I could go on. There’s no mistake when these are in your mirrors, these cars are pure horn.




The Bentley Continental GT is an incredible design, one of the world’s best.

Talking Xy Gt

In my opinion the XY GT falcon is one of the best looking cars around. when first released it ruled the road and the track. Also a black and gold BF GT looks the goods :hihi:

I really like the BA/BF XRs and GTs. They look tuff in my opinion.
The best car in my eyes is the Mustang. I absolutely love them. Pre 1970s models though. Some of the new ones look silly.

my two favs (narelle) are the john goss and the superbird, i would love to own one of these. BUt each model has its own thing i love, i love the xw/y's. i cant wait till the day we own an XA, this will be our aim after we are done with the BA (if that ever happens, there is always something to do next on it)

In my mind, undoubtably the sexiest car ever:

Peugeot 407 Coupé especially when you look at the features and specs - including a twin-turbo V6 diesel with 440Nm@1900rpm, and 150kW. BTW - this is the sister car to the Citroën C6 which has earnt its place in the "Ugliest Car" thread.

And quite possibly one of the best looking large cars ever built:

1966/1967 Buick Riviera. Available in GranSport guise with 455 bigblock, rottisserie speedo, and rotating hideaway lights.

There are 2000 models but they are few and far between. Once you are in one boosted to all hell, age is the last thing you think about lol. I would buy one except when something goes wrong they are hella expensive to fix, insurance is way too expensive, and they drink the juice like no tommorow on boost. Maybe when I have the money.

I'm not a big fan of the "Ultra Futuristic" looks, of the GT90.

The V12 is awesome though. :

Chevrolet El Camino, any year. Hard edged sport utility... Ford's done it well too, but there's something about the lines of the tray area that speaks to me...

Here’s another pic of one John. We used to call them Marti-gra cars because of all the pink on them. The new ones are affectionately known as banana cars. :hihi: :hihi: :hihi:



What was the copper saying to you here?
We could almost start a new thread with this one… Caption this picture. :hihi: :hihi:
