Battle Of The E-Series.

by **serial_fool** » November 5th, 2008, 3:43 am

Most desirable factory E series, explain why.

I haven't included feature packs like 'Classics' and 'Saphires' for obvious reasons.

1988-1991 EA GL
1988-1991 EA S- Pack
1988-1991 EA Fairmont/Ghia
1990 EA GT
1991-1993 EB GLi
1991-1993 EB S- Pack
1991-1993 EB Fairmont/ Ghia
1992-1993 EB XR6
1991-1993 EB XR8
1993 EB GT
1993-1994 ED GLi
1993-1994 ED Futura
1993-1994 ED Farimont/Ghia
1993-1994 ED XR6
1993-1994 ED XR8
1994-1994 ED XR8 Sprint
1994-1996 EF GLi
1994-1996 EF Futura
1994-1996 EF Fairmont/Ghia
1994-1996 EF XR6
1994-1996 EF XR8
1996-1998 EL GLi
1996-1998 EL Futura
1996-1998 EL Fairmont/Ghia
1996-1998 EL XR6
1996-1998 EL XR6
1997-1998 EL S2 XR8
1998 EL GT

Can't fit more than 10 options in a poll....

For me, its the ED Sprint. Its what the EB GT should of been but was too fat to achieve. If only they made an equivilent model for the ELs uisng bits and pieces from the EL GT.

by **67rce** » November 5th, 2008, 6:13 am

EB SS. one of 7 IIRC. Cant count the EA GT as it never made it past prototype stage

by **t1MMy** » November 5th, 2008, 7:59 am

Id have to say EL GT, as much as I hate the front of it, ive been for a drive in one when I worked at Ford and it was a weapon.

by **BROCKYB8** » November 5th, 2008, 8:07 am

How about a
EA BROCK B8
EA SVO

there are a few that you have missed

by **edfairmont4.0** » November 5th, 2008, 8:13 am

1994 ED FAIRMONT GHIA. love the ghia rims, the factory cobalt blue all colour matched bumpers, the interior is sexy, yeah basically i would only touch under the bonnet. Love ghias

by **Allen** » November 5th, 2008, 8:34 am

No FBT on that list??

Only 104 of them, but cheaper and IMO better to the ELGT

by **Commando** » November 5th, 2008, 8:41 am

FBT for me too!

by **Bipolar** » November 5th, 2008, 8:49 am

I've asked myself this question 11ty times and can never come up with an answer. At the moment I'd choose either an EL Ghia or FBT.

BTW fellas the OP says every factory model, not every model.

by **stevo** » November 5th, 2008, 8:56 am

Clearly the EL Ghia or EL GT.
Sif compare an EA to an EL

by **Dezza** » November 5th, 2008, 9:01 am

EL GT for me, in manual.

I know the styling is not to everyone's tastes but I reckon they look tough. Also the interior is awesome. The most powerful factory V8s in the e-series range, although that's not saying a lot. They're a true "grand tourer", not a complete race car

by **EF ECTIV** » November 5th, 2008, 1:27 pm

gotta be the ED Sprint.... mint car, great overall package hopefully I'll pick one up in the next
18months or so... ....

EL GT close second.... they're really starting to grow on me, even the darth vadar looking
front...

by **TICKFORD_XR6** » November 5th, 2008, 5:14 pm

FBT for me (biased)
any of the GT's. love them both!

by **mrcrackers** » November 5th, 2008, 5:19 pm

EL Ghia for me or an FBT. EL GT never did much for me..

by **serial_fool** » November 5th, 2008, 5:38 pm

Fairlane By Tickford isn't a E series.....

by **Commando** » November 5th, 2008, 5:55 pm

Fine then, playing by your rules I'll change my vote to a 1988 EA GL cfi 3 speed. White with grey bumpers please...

by **AaronEF8** » November 5th, 2008, 6:57 pm

EA GT was never a production model, it belongs in there about as much as the Predator and Sequential XR8. EL GT was 1997 (30th Anniversary), EL XR6 is listed twice, Fairmonts and Fairmont Ghias should be seperated like the GL/GLi/Futura is, EB XR's were known as EB S-XR6 and S-XR8. nitpicking FTW.

I would have a guess and say an EL Futura V8 would be the rarest of the cars listed above.

I vote XE Ghia ESP or Terra ute or DJR EB5.

by **Steady** » November 5th, 2008, 7:05 pm

Sprints came out in 1993 too.
Your faux-poll is riddled with flaws.

by **Phillis** » November 5th, 2008, 7:09 pm

XR6 wagon XD

by **t1MMy** » November 5th, 2008, 7:10 pm

V8 EB Fairmont Ghia wagons.

Havent seen many of them about. I think there was about 50 ever made

by **Dezza** » November 5th, 2008, 7:13 pm

One of my mates has one!

by **needfordspeed** » November 5th, 2008, 7:15 pm

EA S-Pac

That is all

by **needfordspeed** » November 5th, 2008, 7:16 pm

Nah but seriously, probably the EL GT in manual if these cars had to stay the way they came outta the factory.

by **XRated** » November 5th, 2008, 8:11 pm

by **XR_Lightning** » November 5th, 2008, 8:14 pm

Does that even need to be asked?

by **slo_sprint** » November 5th, 2008, 9:50 pm

I'd have to go for the ED XR8 Sprint, Poly green manual please

Followed by the EL GT and the NL FBT i really couldn't decide between the two

Then closely followed by the ED Fairmont Ghia, absolutely mint cars!

by **nath** » November 5th, 2008, 10:48 pm

by **nath** » November 6th, 2008, 5:25 pm

haha i just dont like the EF front because they have no grill, i do hafta admit i like the EF taillights a little bit more than EL though.

by **Rollin** » November 6th, 2008, 10:22 pm

ED XR6 or ED XR8 Sprint in cobalt+ manual, or a Poly green or cobalt ED Fairmont Ghia FTW.

by **pHaT`eL** » November 7th, 2008, 12:39 pm

EBGT, ED Sprint or ELGT for me. FBT also on the list.
As a daily, cant really go past an EL Ghia, EF XR6 wagon or an EL2 XR8

by **edfairmont4.0** » November 7th, 2008, 12:49 pm

yeah i forgot to mention the ED Sprint in White.. actually VERY SEXY.

by **67rce** » November 7th, 2008, 8:35 pm

Heritage Green EL Fairmont Ghia V8 Wagon..... only 1 of. OR Le Mans Red ED XR8 Sprint
