Default Re: What are the five best-looking Australian cars ever?

I have one question..

Who allowed HULK back the first time, and why?
Will we all suffer the same fateful decision again?

Of what benefit is it? None.

A detriment - plentiful.

The original Aurion had the most local Aus design input of any foreign car assembled here. The guy who designed the Xr series of the BA turned traitor and went to work for Toyota, and admittedly the Aurion series 1 was a looker for something designed from the squinty eyed, slabsided, Bangle-butted, uninspiring donor Camry car. But when Toyota realised how 'successful' their game-changing Aurion really was, the next generation was just a hand-me-down Asian spec Camry that looks more like the mainstream Camry...

I wasn't around during the famed 70's muscle car era so here goes:

1. FG Mk I XR series

More air and take care of me please!

2. FGX XR series

Angry. Like the front of a Infiniti Q50, VW Golf Mk7 or post-LCI BMW.

3. Base model FG Mk I Falcon ute

Just doing its job.

4. HSV E3 series

Boy racer.

5. HSV Gen-F series

Angry rear like that of the Infiniti Q50.

An Aurion looks better than a XA coupe?

Stolen? You mean fell off due to the hyper acceleration

To you, and the rest of the lynch mob who asked or questioned my judgement:

There are T&C's here that set the ground rules and any warning or bans issued as a result of an alleged breach of those is subject to review on appeal.

When those appeals are upheld, the warning / alert is removed from the user record and has no impact on subsequent infractions.

As it currently stands; being an annoying, argumentative, flag bearing Aurion lover is not a breach of the site T&C and while some may argue that it should be, I have no issue with anyone who doesn't breach the T&C.

In this instance the warning is justified and it will stand in the same way that deliberately argumentative or controversial thread like the 'Friday' specials will disappear as soon as they are started as a pre-emptive move before they get closed anyway.

For the record, certain 'Tuesday' threads are rapidly heading down the same path and may end up with the same fate.

Anyone has an issue with this approach then please feel free to use the PM system.

Russ
