The ELGT would have to be one of the best cars released by Ford Australia, As it wears the GT badge correctly its the perfect Grand Tourer. Extremely comfortable and honestly its looks were well ahead of its time. This will be a true collectors and drivers car as we are already seeing massive price increases through this model of GT. Please drive one before you comment on this model.

I've got the 97 DL LTD in Heritage Green, which was about the same price as the GT new at around $70k, but with less power and performance and more leg room in the rear and space in the boot. Not to mention, the DL continues to depreciate in value, whereas the GT keeps appreciating. I've also got an S1 AU wagon which has essentially the same suspension as the EL series. Although I did upgrade the AU to BF XR specs with uprights and swaybar changeover. By the way, this is the first video I've watched of yours. Great video too. You focused on the stuff that matters.

Hey just wanted to say hi and doing a great job with your channel glad your a ford fan. There already too many holden lovers out there i have allways loved me fords my first car was a xy wagon 6 cylinder 3 speed column shift was all i could afford back then and every car since has been a ford. Now I have a big stock FG XR 6 turbo absolutely love it. but wish I still had my XE Fairmont Ghia 351 that had 430 horse power with a 4 speed top loader in it it was my favourite out of them all but my FG is great never thought a standard 6 would go like it does but still will be get a bit out of it in the future. Any way mate I rambling on a bit great job keep it up may be try get some more older muscle cars from the 60's and 70's I am in my early 50's so grew up with them and you don't see them on road any more cause they rare and worth to much probably see ya mate. from Brad

I have always owned JDM & Euro cars. From the day I could walk I loved JDM cars. Growed up loving only JDM. Still own my first JDM car I got new at 15 my DC5-S over here in the states. It only has 28k original miles. Yes a DC5 6 speed manual with a K20Z1 that had 28k original miles. It's my first car I will never sell it. But yeh own over 10 to 15 Hondas and Acuras over the years. Then when I hit like 23 I started getting into BMW & BENZ & Audi. Owned M3 & M4 and 335IS. AMG and RS cars. Some of my favorite driving cars in the world. But just too unreliable. So after years of dumping money into cars to just keep them on thr road so I wanted to try a V8 American muscle for the first time. Then I bought a 2017 Chevrolet SS Sedan/Holden Commodore SS. With the 6.2 V8 LS3. At the time I was like OK cool a new daily. Then found out that it was a Holden and how special these Holdens were. Then it became a project car now sitting close to 1500hp Turbocharged. Now I'm a big big big V8 fan boy and a big Holden fan. I just purchased a WM Caprice from over here. So now I own 2 Holdens! And I will never own any other car without a V8 lol. Also planning on adding a VE/G8 & Manaro/GTO so I can have all the available cars that are over here that are Holden. You open my eyes to Australian cars and taught me alot about them. I am such a big fan of Australian cars. It's so sad that Australian don't make cars anymore. Cause they make some of the best one of a kind cars. Thanks for showing us all these Australian icons bro! One day you should travel over and review my American Holdens.

For me the EB GT had a cohesive look to it whereas the EL GT for my eyes is just hideous to look at. It may be an acquired taste but it's a taste I have no intentions of acquiring. Only 272 were ever made and to me that's 272 too many. It's "bitza' GT with bits form here and bits from there stuck on a Falcon body. Put an EL GT next to and XY GTHO and the EL GT looks like an imposter. I know I'm in a tiny minority but to my eyes it's a horrible looking car.

Very good car but the the front of them is hideous. Which is compounded by the EL XR6/8 being a simple and classy looking design. A variation on the XR nose with the twin side bonnet vents combined with the rest of the kit would've been a classy look.
