1990 Ford Falcon (Australia)

In 1990, while initially popular, the EA's build quality was uncompetitive with uneven panel shutlines, computer problems, poor paint quality and front suspension alignment problems. Launched in October 1989 the Series II brought a four speed automatic transmission, body coloured B pillars, and the 3.2 litre engine was dropped. Ford's dominance of the taxi market in Australia meant that a car that could comfortably seat three along the back seat was necessary.
