Some weird lists ive read.. this is my opinion below

1. Toyota aurion
2. BA/BF GT
3. BA/BF XR6/8
4. EL XR8
5. FG G6ET

Does noone consider interiors as part of the looks as well? The older cars have terrible interiors. Most of the older cars are big boxes as well.. massive gaps between panels etc.

do you think so Hulk? im the opposite, i reckon some of the old cars they got the interiors looking grouse(perhaps a bit spartan , but grouse, maybe im a bit biased because ive riden in most of the oldies and driven some of them, including some pretty cool yank tanks, most late model cars have zero style compared to some of the oldies imo.

With all due respect, the thread is titled "What are the five best-looking Australian cars ever?" not "Which Australian car had the nicest interior?"

Each to their own.

[Crazy Dazz]

I don't understand why people specify that it must be a particular spec level? Stripes & wheels don't make the car.

Also, are we talking about any car BUILT in Australia? Or does it have to be a unique Australian design?

Any how, my list:

1. HK Monaro. Yes, I'd bat for the other team for one of those.
2. CL Charger. (as above.)
3. RV1 Valiant. (Well it was assembled here.)
4. TC Cortina
5. Landau

[MethodX]

A Javelin or AMX, as they were assembled here too.

[DJM83]

AU3 TS50
AU XR any series
FG G6ET
CV8 Monaro
VY GTS



Toyota aurion *** lol

[FairmontGS]

XB Coupe
Any Charger
HQ coupe
ZA Fairlane
P6

It's a shame the Force7 never made it to production.



I'm surprised only one person has mentioned the Territory which is one of the best all-time locals.

Still a better car than the EA.
want a 3 speed auto and a cracked engine block with that?

[OzJavelin]

I didn't see anything specifically in the thread about PRODUCTION cars .. So I think a lot of the picks the NGV had in their "Shifting Gears" display would be good candidates:
XA GT Coupe
VH RT Charger
HQ GTS Monaro
EFFIGY
Holden Hurricane ..

.. I throw in the GTR-X as a contingency too ..

Never heard of EAs cracking engine blocks.

The new cars look far more aggressive than the older cars. I think my aurion looks more aggressive than my mint bf2 xr6t



Show me a better looking aussie built car

[marty351]

Aurion aggressive? More like a sedated cow trying to be milked!
