There were a few more images posted.

I also made a summary of all the final Falcon changes that were evident from posted images a few pages back.

Actually with all these spyshots, we basically know what's underneath. No longer know what the fuss is anymore. Almost like a gorgeous lady wearing a very small bikini, leaving the rest to imagination. Taking it all off could be rather underwhelming

Can we get a technology recap too?

Is there a diff tech in the tail lights?
Do we get front park sensors?
Any interior gadget changes?

Do we get Bluetooth streaming?

I believe we get some sort of under-front plastic thingies for improved aero??? hence better economy????

Bluetooth® mobile phone integration, USB & IPod integration are already Standard on ALL current FGII Falcons even from the base XT.

- tail lights get the neon-like look to them like the Mondeo
- yes to front sensors
- interior looks the same, I had a Ford employee tell me that it is getting Sync, however
- as above, Bluetooth streaming already standard
- Ecoboost already gets the underbody aero, so maybe that will carry over to all models

yeah, there were a few more spy shots posted, but they didn't really reveal anymore than those ones, apart from maybe the official ford teaser video screenshots

how hard is it to change the design of the interior. when they say it takes ?millions to design it does add up.

I've worked in vehicle manufacturing and im sure alot of people here have too.

its visualized, examples are made, they are passed by design chiefs and then molds, assemblies and material supplies etc are worked out.

or maybe they were told they couldn't change to much because..well we already know why..

Sorry, been a long day, I cannot parse "non Turbo / V8 6's"
Does this mean everything that is not turbo, not v8 and not a 6 ? - does this leave anything ?
Or does it mean all 6's that are not turbo, and all 6's that are not V8 ? - This would leave the Standard and gas I6 (but not the 4 cyl ecoboost or the diesel) with the Chinese box.

"non Turbo / V8 6's" = Anything that is not a turbo 6 and not a v8 but is still a 6 will get the Chinese box.

Eg all the NA I6's

Just out of curiosity but who here will be purchasing the new 2014 Falcon when it is released? I for one will hopefully purchase a XR6 Turbo to go with my FG XT MKII EcoBoost. I'm really excited to get an XR!

I intend to buy a new car in early 2015 and it will either be an FX XR8 or a dual cab Ranger. Salary sacrificing FTW

I have my reasons for looking at both, but that dilemma is in another thread.

I say FX only because of what I have seen around the place and 201X = FX.
