I get a lot of people go "hey man i like ur datsun 200B" so i reply with "how many 200B's had single headlights?[/quote]

Didn't you know early Mitsubishi's never existed? Only Datto's (Sorry for swearing)

[webby]

You can swear all you want, just don't blaspheme

[lchilds82]

that is the gayest thing i have ever heard, lol nah just joking, nice mate nice

[tango76hardtop]

my first car was a gd galant so im kinda biased in liking the gd more, even the taillights, I definitely like the twin headlights over the single. I didnt really like the gc taillights at the start but after owning a gc hardtop its grown on me a bit

[kodos]

I find the GA/GB too boxy (saying that i do actually like the Datsun 1600's.....please dont delete my account, ide put an evo engine in it instead of an SR20 or FJ20).
GC is my favourite, I think the single head lights (although mine now has 6 lights across the front....eat my 660w of driving light power ).
The GC just seems to flow so nicely and yes the tail lights of the GC are definately the best.
Although I do have a 4 door i would very much like a 2door i think they look fantastic, however as many people have said.....GTO trumps all.

Cheers Matt

Hey, I own a Datto 1600 might have upset some peeps but hey, not ban worthy

But you're right as far as I'm concerned, GTO does trump all

Most people seem to have strayed from the subject line "GB versus GD". This also discounts GA, GC, GE etc and all models not sold in Australia.

I've owned 5 Galants, a GA (nice) I bought new in '72 and owned for 8 years, a 9 year old GB sedan (nice) which I owned for a further 9 years, a GC sedan (unhappy front trying to look like a VJ) very briefly, and more recently 2 GC hardtops (nice).


Sticking with the subject line, I would have to say I prefer "GB sedan" over "GD hardtop".....just.

When set up properly GB sedans are very well balanced, not overweight and a bunch of fun to drive. They also look nicely proportioned................Never were many GC/GD rally cars.........

But overall, a couple of GTOs would do nicely thanks.

Here is the original post...

Hi guys i want to start a debate over which model Galant is the coolest, GA/GB or GD/GC
let the debate begin

I thought I answered the question?

Dave,
Thanks for pointing that out.

Maybe the subject line should be re-worded to "GA/GB versus GC/GD" which still discounts non locally sold models.......or does it?

Slight revision here... If they are to be in original unmodified form, GB sedan for driving enjoyment, GC hardtop for cool.

[dvsfin]

well we all know the gc hardtop is the epitome of cool

Yeah I thought as soon as I posted it that it made me sound like a spaz lol

Maybe Gen 1 or Gen 2?

as far as galants go that is
we all know that there is NOTHING better than a la lancer 2dr
cheers stealth

[75wagon]

No mate you've got it all wrong. GC wagons are the coolest by far, and if you don't believe me come and ride in mine...

[boyracer]

GA & GB win the battle of the Galants, lighter, still the weapon of choice for
many rally aces.....

Done and dusted then..................

Isn't the question what's the coolest? Not what is the most successful rally car?

It's time to don the flame suit I think, but I'm going there anyway.

I don't necessarily associate rally cars with coolness.
A cool car is something you go cruzing in. Not belting through mud, trees and dirt full pelt.
To me a rally car is more of a beaten up old banger (unless you drive for a fully sponsored team in modern kit and are competing for the WRC)
I wouldn't treat my car like that...

<< For the first time ever I will play Mr. Diplomat

The winner will only ever be decided by the car you have and what you want and expect from it.

[boyracer]

RALLY IS COOL .....

GD

[74GalantGB]

GB.
Easily.
Cos ALF is a GB.
And I'm a woman. So I've gotta be right.
*nods*

=)

[Alice]

Yay !

[kirkstanton]

I used to loved the GDs but after spending so much time with the gc my opinions changed. I prefer the gc over all the other galants.

I think I have a little soft spot for the wagons tho.

thanks,
kirk

[75wagon]

I don't think it matters which one you like better.
I think the thing that makes the difference is what you spend more time with.

I spent a couple of months respraying a front drive RA Mitsubishi Colt for my brother in law. At the end of it I found that I thought that they had a good shape and I really liked them.
When I did up my GB I preferred them. When I did up my GC wagon I preferred it. Now I have a GD sedan and I'm starting to look at them differently now too.

So what does that mean in the end???

Dave...

[Nath76LA]

It's what ever car you're working on at that point of time that YOU like?

[tango76hardtop]

I have a gc hardtop but still like the gd and a lot people here hate the gd taillights but (flame suit on) i actually like them and at one stage i had a set of gd taillights and garnish and was going to try and fit them to my gc until i found out the hole in my gc was too big and didnt want to go into modifying the rear panel

[karl_2ltgc]

Gc has the valiant type cool looking front end like a VJ valiant/charger combined with the japanese RX3 style tailights...the best mix of aussie/jap style.

GD's are too japanese looking for my tastes.

[webby]

I'm starting to like GB sedans, might get one after I'm done playing with Scorpions
So the GB sedan gets my vote

[lchilds82]

they are all cooll but if you look at Glant's Gb and tell me that that aint one of the coolest cars on here then i dont know what is, awseome awesome awesome
