WE HAVE A WINNER!!!!!!!!!!

XA GT COUPE (50 Votes) defeats XY GT HO PHASE III (40 Votes)




Here is the breakdown of how we got here - for those who may have missed the previous rounds...


Thank you for your voting....
Whilst this wasn't the most entertaining and factual way of fighting it out - it has given an INTERESTING result, and I hope that a few of you have enjoyed this light hearted GT Falcon World Cup...

If you like what you've seen - i'd love the +rep added?

Cheers
Loftie

Should do the same with non-GT (but still factory) performance falcons.

As above quite an upset. I figured our beloved P3 would have run home in the last round.

We might get another HO, but we'll never ever have another hardtop.

Don't think anyone really mentioned pricing in relaying their preference? Price isn't the only factor in determining what is more popular, while it's a factor , it is more related with rarity, history & collectability .....

As far as can see scrolling through the posts it just comes down to a preference with only a few more liking the XA Coupe curves over the more boxy XY. If it was a vote on what someone would buy, money no object, it may have had a different outcome because of a different criteria?

Money no object?...I would just buy as many XAs as I could for the same money as the HO
