Something to think about.............

I do agree they are ugly as sin, every Falcon between XE and FG was a hideous piece of poo imo.

I hated the ea - au but I though they recovered pretty well with the ba - bf. They look pretty nice imo.

The back of the au is not the best, but that series 1 waterfall grille...raaaank! Atleast they changed that pretty quick.

I reckon the AU Series 3 XRs looked pretty sweet.

Yep only model I would even think of owning in the AU series.

don't forget the diff and handling issues of the S1. Worst Falcon ever by a country mile.

That's a big call, have you ever driven an EA?? Talk about engineering fail

Styling wise, yep, AU was uglier than a jar of pickled foreskins...

oh yeah EA was pretty dongs, Ford killed themselves off before their time I reckon.

AU's were the worst, and what did merc go and do? make a bigger abortion of it.

Yeah but the Mercedes doesn't have a head gasket go at 55k. Or a diff at 70k. Or the transmission cooler collapse in the radiator mixing fluid and coolant killing the transmission. Or the rear outer door handles fail. Or fake reborn leather literally peal off of the seats etc etc etc.

That was our joyous experience for the 3 years we owned the ghia.

I'd pick the merc if given the chance.

The Mercedes also has panels that line up and consistent seams and spot welds.

The Mercedes also has a price tag, at a guess, at least 3 times that of an AU lol.

The AU falcon police cars that were used widely in NZ in the late 90s and the early 2000's were absolute dogs , if you left the blue and reds on , and shut the engine down , even for a brief time , you weren't going anywhere , they would regularly overheat in pursuit conditions , the transmissions were fragile , worst car I've driven .

One car with an ugly rear end is the vr/vs commodore
