Maybe someone could repost all of spymans pics into one post? That might help keep it on topic

For some reason i highly doubt it..

I have saved most of spymans pics onto my computer....plus a few good photoshops/sketches

[AUS GRUNT]

Here is all the spy shots i have saved, not sure if all of them are spymans as some don't have his copyright but anyway...might make it easier for you guys, than going way back through the pages to find pics

[Joe5619]

Thanks Aus Grant. There is a few in there that I've missed. I didn't realised we'd seen so much of the tail lights. Can't wait for this if be revealed in full!!

[XtRmn8]

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

Thats also the updated Territory following it.

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.

Readily access the essential features of your new Falcon using the intuitive 8" colour touch screen*. With user-friendly Bluetooth®^ mobile phone integration across the range and Satellite Navigation with Traffic Message Channel# technologies on G6E and G6E Turbo models, driving will feel like a whole new experience. In addition, with USB integration now standard across the range, simply insert your USB stick into the port to control and play all your MP3 music files or use the Human Machine Interface (HMI) for seamless control of your iPod,+ smart phone, MP3 and USB device. Connecting with friends and family or playing your favourite music has never been easier.

- 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

[dirtyclevo]

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..

[Bonn]

The back wheels look like 9" ?

[fgpsi]

Sorry if it has been answered already but are the XR8 and XR6T getting the same ZF that ford has been using this whole time or a new one ?

[Professor Farnsworth]

same one

[Smoke Pursuit]

Same one with upgraded software.

All non Turbo / V8 6's get the chinese copy in the updated car.

Its the same one running in the non petrol models ATM.

[EgoFG]

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.

[fgpsi]

Chinese box will probably be better.... :p

see what I did there

[SensationFG8]

"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

[Callum31]

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!

[Professor Farnsworth]

I'm interested in the xrT again but maybe the xr8 depending on pricing.

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

Honestly mate if you have the money go for the XR8 over the Ranger! You'll never regret it!

[fgpsi]

FX is it?

That would be cooler then FH

[Road_Warrior]

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.

[Falco GT51]

I will be going XR6T ute

[Adamz Ghia]

I e been given a great price on an FG mkII XR6 ute, I don't know whether to jump on it or wait for FH... damn it I hate waiting...!

[Professor Farnsworth]

what price did you get
