Same door skins

yeah, when i put the EL trims on my EB, to get the inner handle to work you had to bend the actuator hook around the other way and there may have been a screw hole or two that was different too, can't remember

[GasoLane]

Seeing as a door is one of the biggest re-tooling parts on a car they would probably use what they can from the FG.

[Smoke Pursuit]

The doors are straight off the FG, including the trims (just with a different pattern in the leather / cloth).

[QUOTE=Callum31;it appears the new Falcon (XR8) will have a more square looking power bulge, wide and square...[/QUOTE]

Hey,
From memory not USB,I think it's flat and wider follows down to the in side of the headlight

Where you have the two groves each side of the bulge on the blue car

The last test car I saw was almost a week ago now. It was heading down the Midland highway through to Mooroopna with a Territory behind it. I've been hoping to spot another since!

This months Wheels mag says the FH XR8 will have " the GS 315kw engine" interesting!

[Smoke Pursuit]

It wont. Wheels are FULL of ****!

Theoretically that is right as it's the same engine as the GT, the only difference is the tune, the thing is we have members who work at Ford building these cars saying that it's getting the 335 GT tune. I would believe them before anything read in Wheels magazine.

Have no fear I agree. I just thought it was interesting that what is supposed to be THE motor mag would print that. Having said that I would also think that by now Wheels would have been up to date on the FH/Z.

Not too sure. Was just sent to me by a bloke I know in the US who saw it out and about and wondered about the RHD.

I wasn't sure, however the mirrors and roof look different to my wife's FG.

Thought I'd post it up anyway as if they are looking at putting this front on the F(?) then I am a shot duck...

[Professor Farnsworth]

well it shares a lot of similarity with FZ anyway as the Fusion will probably be the 2017 replacement anyway but yeah plenty of differences i can see there

Hello Aston. But gotta say that design looks a whole lot better than it did on Focus/Fiesta.

[Taily]

While it will be sad the Falcon is going, a sporty version of that Fusion isnt a bad thing IMO.
