No they won't

The Falcon is the last of the Falcons! Would say 98% can relate to the Falcon more and have more chance of owning one.

Also ..... and probably the main factors ....... we are all discussing what it will look like and specs associated with it.

Bit of a given really .....

I'd go along with that.

Mustang will have its day in the sun once it's closer to release here.

For now, we can enjoy this lead up to the last Falcon.

did a few ROUGH colour overlays on one of the great looking chops Nikked did. These won't win any awards but show what some old colours may look like on the new model. And to the purists, they're not all 100% accurate, guide only. If anyone is interested in another colour let me know. Full credit to Nikked for the original concept, starting off with that one:

White:



Toxic:



Bionic:



Blood Orange:



Calypso Green:



Nitro:



Octane:



Rapid:

Fords latest ads regards their 2.9% finance deal state that both FG XR6 and SZ TX Territory now come with SYNC.

If this is not a misprint it looks like Ford is rolling out the ICC update to final FG and SZ builds?

I did notice that in the Herald Sun today too, made me do a double take. I assumed they came with the antenna now as they had already switched to the new glass...

Attn Santa:

Hi Santa,
Bypass this guys house and deliver the XR8 to me. I will leave out a carton of Corona, some nice cheese and nibblies and some hot little 'elves' to give you a nice massage to help you finish your rounds.

I was surprised too

They must be bears or something, because they have been in hibernation for the past few years.

I'd say it's a typo, standby for a Ford correction ad I'd say.
The website link to the same deal does NOT list sync http://www.ford.com.au/latest-offers...fer=falcon-xr6

yeh same, rapid, toxic were my favourites

i have given blueprint a whirl but it looked terrible, i'll give it another shot either later tonight or tomorrow

[T-Pak Addict]

Octane looks nice...

Love all the bright colours...

[Motorbreath310]

Close enough - they'd look awesome in Bionic.

[Nikked]

Best combo ever!

WHAT? NO CARROT??

Quit stiffing the reindeer and he may listen. You gotta pay transport!

Rudolf got a new front end, and expect a rear on it better than (maybe equal to) Eugenie Bouchard. Actually, expect an improved rear and overall better body - but Eugine is Eugine.

Might be the Canadian Club talking.

[Professor Farnsworth]

did a couple more just now, they're even more terrible than the others, I'M SO TIRED. Tried blueprint again but still looks crap, will look again later. Here's a slightly brighter version of Venom Red, and Wild Plum

[csv8]

Iggle Piggle ...Rudolphs rear end emissions have been cut !!!!

[FPV-800]

Yes please Santa, Ill have a FZ XR8 in up wild plum to go with my XD in custom watermelon colour. would be great to have a choice of all those great colours on the new XR8 / XR6.

[SuspectEB]

Didnt bother reading whole thread. Im guessing the "new" falcon will be an FG with a different front and back.

[cro142]

Gawd I hope that the predictive artwork for the shape of the upcoming FH/FZ is absolutely dead wrong.

The impressions published in this thread are all butt ugly.

I plan on buying an XR6 turbo, so I hope it won't look like the rubbish above!!

[fordwood]

Dude that is pretty harsh to just rag on someones artists impressions like that!

According to those that have seen the real thing the renditions are nearly spot on.

So I'm not sure if you think it's the artists or Ford that are bad.

Clarification please .

[bungarra]

Proffessor Farnsworth, any chance of doing a couple in some real od school colours like, Teal Glow, Vermillion Fire, Wild Violet?

No, I'm not bagging the artists by any means, as they have done a good job considering the lack of info in jobs like this - pre-empting secret designs.

If these renditions are close to the mark, I just hope the detailing in the real thing actually makes it look OK.

This is what I picture in my head when I think of Fords sales and marketing team.
