Ok, so off the top of my very tired head, we have
XA XB XC XD XE XF EA EB ED EF EL AU BA BF So do you reckon next is the BD or BL? BL at a guess, just because they appear to have already skipped BD. As long as they don't go BR, BP, BN, BK, etc. Sound unforgivably like commodore models....

Wait, isnt it meant to be an all new model, dosnt that mean a whole new number, like not to much changed greatly from EA-EL (well it did i suppose) but i just thought when a whole new model was released it got a new code. Meh, its late, im going to bed.

The shape of the BA seems to be soo popular now ive even seen hol*en lovers convert to smart Ford lovers over the BA's so im thinking their going to keep that shape for a while considering how many they have sold over the last couple of years(Just look at how many are on the road). I hope they mass produce the GT's and GT-P's so they can be affordable for joe blows. With a bit of luck the next few B* models will steer clear of hol*en's model lettering and keep the same similar style as the BA/BF. Hope all that made sense its 1:20AM

prefer AU Tickford's and XA-C coupe's Glad the BA's did sell well though, ford was in serious trouble for a while Maybe C as it's next in line or go to F1 (GTP), F2 GT, F3 Typhoon F4 XR, F5 and 6 for base models

The chop looks great. Why does it have an XR6 badge on the skirts and a F6 badge on the grill? It looks awesome.
Isn't the next planned to be released in the first quarter of 2007. Called project Orion, IIRC? I would call it the BG.

It just looks too much like a Mondaro over the bum and it's not original, I don't know that I like it. Each to his own I guess, but I'd rather not buy something that has been made to look like something Holden makes. Hence why I love Territory and ute and normal Falcon, but why a Falcon coupe or an AWD Falcon Wagon would be the last thing I'd consider owning.

As the next Falcon will be an all new model, I think that the model designation will start with another letter altogether.

Also, it wouldn't be D something because they've had the DA LTD in 1988, and for the same reason it wouldn't be N something due to the NA-L fairlanes.

AU and BA is the same body shape/chassis and Ford changed the first letter from A to B. So it doesn't mean that they will necessarily change from "B" to another letter. Remember the BA is a variation of the AU family. The next Falcon model after the BF will be a whole new car.
In English: 1. I don't know why Ford called the BA, the BA instead of AC,AF, AK etc cos it's a variation of the AU. 2. As a result of the above, Ford could designate any model code to the next Falcon |

But an AWD F6 with and upgraded engine, say 300kw and 575Nm, would be, in my eyes, the biggest and meanest muscle car ever. |
