I think it's meant to read FGII badges??
Or perhaps FGIII.

Meaning its not just a MK2 update with some badges and few major changes like the BF2 was to most people.

Yes, it's definitely a typo, should be FGII or III, stating it will be either FH or FZ as we have assumed.

No, me either - V8s are ridiculously efficient these days!
Agree strongly re:Matt black side stripes on Smoke duco - was thinking precisely the same thing, thanks to Renegade's spiffy makeover.
Was thinking the early FG optional 'XR8' side flash would do it......

Not that it bothers me in the slightest, but I noticed there's no, or I can't see , sensors for the wipers, G6E only...?

What a great looking car. Part me is a bit sad the last ever Falcon release was leaked. So are we expecting a full interior and exterior release tomorrow or just the front shot?

If he jizzed himself with the VF, I expect him to absolutely explode with this. That is if he is unbiased of course.

Make no mistake, I don't care whether someone is a Ford or Holden fan, looks are subjective most of the time. In this case, they are not. The new Falcon buries the VF - and I'm being objective.

Interesting to see the G6E.

The corporate look suits well.
Personally, I think it looks too Mondeo-ish, but definitely has a family look about it.
