What cars better ?

What car is better in terms of looks and apearance, what car would you want to own.

protd · 12-01-2007, 10:03 AM

i'm happy with the cars i own now.. so xd falcon and td cortina... i would'nt say there better or look better but i have built them to suit my taste..

protd · 12-01-2007, 10:06 AM

sorry i just noticed your poll.. but i still stand by my first post.. xy's are a great looking car but they are like ********* everyone has them i have 5 mates alone that own xy's so i'd never get one for that reason... but i'll bet a left nut that the poll shows xy hands down..

I voted xy, ive had plenty and love them but as i said in the other thread that i
thought your TD (protd) is one of the tuffest cars ive seen.

protd · 12-01-2007, 10:19 AM

thanks for that trik67.. i love xy's also but they are so common i just wanted something ugly that not to many people had.. when I'm old and grey i will own me a xy then but for now I'm liking my ugly duckling..

protd · 12-01-2007, 10:22 AM

it's a funny poll really like asking someone if they'd like to marry Elle macpherson or Rosanne Arnold

XY for looks and pure Aussie muscle anyday.

Never get sick of them.

TD Cortys are nice, but I prefers TEs too be honest.;)

I know its personal choice but if this car had convo's, autodrags or welds, it
would look way better. Keep the big wheels for the new cars.

If any of the newer style wheels suit these cars its the simmon's FR's,they kinda keep in the globe "theme"..

XY for my vote. The cortina was nice though, just not as nice as an XY, modded or stock!

Fair enough mate.

Either way, XYs look the goods, but I prefer them with FRs. They're a classy wheel.

As for XYs being common? Meaning on the road every day or at shows? I never see them on the roads.

They only seem to come out in full force, at a car show or something.

MAFIA · 12-01-2007, 07:51 PM

protd right, XY a great car an tough too but every tom d!ck and harry got 1. Replicas are everywhere too. I perfer xw then XY as it much smooth styling.

Yeah go the cortina as it different and it'll turn more heads then XY would as we all seen it before!

protd · 12-01-2007, 11:12 AM

here's a mates car probably one of my favorite xy's.. love the colour, love the white strip and venetian blind...

protd · 12-01-2007, 11:13 AM

sorry to the guys that have seen it all before..

snortycorty · 12-01-2007, 11:44 AM

Both cars look great, but my vote went for the corty.
Wanted an xy/xw until i seen the corty and all changed from then on!

XFshep · 12-01-2007, 12:23 PM

XY is meaner but i dont think ive seen more than 1 TE on the road over here, much more unusual car, heaps of potential.

TUF514 · 12-01-2007, 01:08 PM

i had to go xy.

i hate small cars.....

SPK-250 · 12-01-2007, 01:39 PM

Im one for the Cortina!!

uranium_death · 12-01-2007, 02:27 PM

For the car itself, the XY. Love the look, tough as hell and full sized.

"which car is better" is not easy to answer as it also comes down to your needs.

Stated in posts, people say that XYs are too common, so it's clear you want exclusivity. So based on that, the Cortina would suit you better.

But I still prefer the XY.

The Monty · 12-01-2007, 03:56 PM

Would not be able to make a choice. Both awesome.

ea_boss_05 · 12-01-2007, 06:05 PM

I couldn’t decide which one I liked best, so I bought both.

82XD393.3v · 12-01-2007, 06:25 PM

while protd has one of the best looking and tuffest td cortys i still think they xy is a much better looking car

protd · 12-01-2007, 06:57 PM

hey this thread is not about my car guys i hope you all now that... so i'm not getting offended by people likeing the xy's shape over the cortina even i like the xy's over cortina's i even voted for the xy...
