Does the line that intercepts with the Ford badge have a purpose on the rear of the new falcon?

I like the look of the rear, that is because I really like the XF Jag.
I think the XR8 is going to be "Winner Winner chicken dinner!!! " It will be the best BANG FOR BUCK car in Australia. ( If priced under 58k ) |

If nothing else those pics show that most of the people there don't know what all those white lines in the parking area are for

Silver G6E looks very good.
Base model ute confirms all models will have front bumper. I suspect rear sedan bumper will be that same appart from diffuser.

And then I saw her face, now I'm a believer
And not a trace of doubt in my mind I'm in love.

Someone mentioned no exhaust, that's because the exhaust tips were scrapped to cut costs. All sedans will have an FG XT-style dump hidden from view, or so it is claimed.
Based on the test mules I saw yesterday, I think that claim may be on the money. Oh and did anyone notice the current MkII interior:

God I hope the rear isn't EXACTLY like that, not to have a go at your photos Mr Farns you do a great job, just not a big fan....Could be the colour, but looks so so euro, feels almost to plain to fit such an aggressive front!

The other two ruin the lines of the car. I have seen the XFR-S and I absolutely hate that rear wing on it. It is tacky at best.

So based on the fact that these are multiple un-camouflaged cars, in a public area:
Ford's grand master scheme to unveil the Falcon from all angles, was to have people take photos with their cellphones of an XT ute and an G6E and post them on social media. No wonder they're being closed down. |

Seems like ICC hiss might be making a comeback in the FH as a feature

Whoever took those pics must have taken more so I assume we will see more pictures and possibly the interior as well soon.
The ICC in that silver G6E looks very much like the current Mk2 ICC as we all expected.

Interior hasn't been signed off on yet, hence why its running MkII interior components.

Well, its still too soon to assume. The ICC doesn't look revised but the materials may have changed as well as the Gauge cluster. I would expect smaller changes, nothing drastic.
