Time for my comment. It's a good looking car. Full stop. The rear end? 100x better than the FG. I always hated the FG rear end anyway. Looked like a saggy droopy sack of cr@p with it's oversized awkwardly angled rear bumper and the way the boot sloped down out toward the rear. It just looked odd.

The new rear looks nice regardless of whether it's pretty well a copy of the Jag. I mean look at this car! It just looks good, not cheap, not plasticky or understyled or even underdone with what I've seen so far. End of story.

^^^^ Just goes to show how different we are. I've always thought the rear 3/4 shot of the FG was the best angle and I love the tail lights. (I don't think it's right to praise the new by criticizing the old one particularly when we haven't seen the new one in the metal and on all models.)

With the new one I think the rear end looks pretty classy too and I'm interested to see how they treat it for the XR8.

From all indicators Ford Australia have done a great job on this last model.

I think what he is talking about is the immediate side-on aspect of the FG where the sloping rear/tumblehome design theme of the car makes the bum look a bit...I dunno, frumpy.

I've just called my finance guy to change the finance terms on our new SZ to 3yr/0%, so that I have less owing when I buy the FZ, lol....not many cars look worse in real life compared to their photos, this one is going out as a mean looking stunner.

This new Falcon is so sharp. The front lights look aggressive, like the car is squinting down the road. The front bar is creased near light to help with that look. The look is helped with high wide grill. The face of the car reminds me what the USAAF P40 Kittyhawks. The ground crews painted the angry face onto the fighter.

Also aided by the inverse slope (the bonnet is ahead of the bottom fender) on the front of the car, which is very stark when placed next to the VF, whihc has the more traditional bulge:

I think having someone in charge with the passion and pride he displayed during his time in the seat would have had some impact on the company.
Ford Australia looks on the surface like it has been in autopilot for years, I don't even think we have had decent Falcon advertising since the Geoff Polites BA days.
He got me into my first new BA Falcon in '03...

The Jag cues have nothing to do with ownerships once upon a time....just current trends. You could start drawing long bows like..

While I somewhat agree, you have to admit, the FX tail lights look almost identical to the Jag's. They aren't just "trending," it's almost 100% the same.

I don't view this as a bad thing either, I just think Ford have decided "You know what? Those XF Jag tail lights would look awesome on the FX, let's do it."

No, no, no, this discussion is NOT about opinions.

This one is FACT. Very different to an opinion.

Despite the fact that the XD was designed with every intent to look Euro and really did look like a Granada? XD even used Granada parts...

But wasn't that the appeal/core of Australian cars? a strange brew of Euro and American styles?


That's the thing that absolute s**ts me about the constant "the FH is crap because it looks like a "monuar" its too euro and doesn't look like a falcon" tripe seen every time a photo is posted, Ford Australia (believe it or not) don't exist in a bubble, quarantined from the rest of the styling world. From the first "Australian designed" Falcon right up till now, the Falcon has always been our car with global trending traits and brand language built for us.

About the only thing common in Falcon design is 3-box design, 4 doors and wheels...and over 50 years we have seen the Falcon chop and change, introducing daring features like the lowered belt line on the XD, wrap-around doors on the EA, blank grilles...geometric shapes...list goes on...

gesus...imagine if they introduced a 5-door hatch body shape?

There are so many more important things in life to be concerned about other than arguing about the design of a new car.

Those cars are similar but the Jag XF and new Falcon have an identical chrome strip that goes right across and ties into the blinkers and reverse lights. I don't think HQ had much say in our styling, but it goes a bit behind styling trends when the chief designers of Ford and Jaguar are brothers.
