does`nt look like there`s much head room, front looks ok, profile , i prefer the fg, however from the front it might look alright with the bonnet bulge.

Whatever happened to the C-pillar kink that's been a Falcon trademark since the EA?

I like the look of this .. especially the idea that the front wheels aren't jammed up against the front door meaning it's probably not front-wheel-drive ..

Considering that Ford Europe and US are both converging on styling now, I'd say the large upper grille (rather than lower) as seen on the recent mondeo/fusion/Taurus concepts is more likely the new corporate image of One Ford.

Wrong, wrong, wrong... This is not a Falcon, rather a copy of every other Euronese car on the market

Looks like someone has just photoshoped the FGMKII front onto a mondeo and then fiddled with it a bit. The entire thing looks too japanese/korean to me. In fact it could almost pass for a 2017 kia optima if you change the front badge.

Great Photoshop skills there! A few suggestions:
1. Drop the rear roof antenna … it looks silly 2. The wheels look undersized and seems like they sit too deeply inside the car … can you put better wheels on it? Audi designs please. 3. Reduce the lower door sucked up shape … it’s just too much. 4. Reduce the bulging line through the door handles … it’s too much just like the lower door shape. 5. Can you put a small low spoiler on the back? again Audi style please. |

Could the 2017 falcon be considered a G6 or G6E in that picture?
I personally like it

2017? Needs GTR style doorhandles, LED/ Laser headlamps, bigger and more futuristic wheels. Otherwise its just a mish mash of two current Fords ( SZ/ '13 Fusion) .

Cheers for he comments...I'll work on some idea's (XR/wagon/ute...and a coupe lol)
My basic idea behind it was to used the modeo's door shut lines etc...sorta aim for what could relisticly could happen in the future. In a way, the falcon could become the LWB counterpart of the modeo/fusion.

Looks good, I like it. Good work chiefton.
I just wish Ford would stop copying the Aston Martin front grille, in their up and coming models.
