Geez Louize... people are an ungrateful lot. We know Ford aren't going to make any money on this car and the FH is essentially a nice gesture from Detroit to let the Falcon go out with a bang.
If they knew everyone was going to be so negative about what should be a damn brilliant looking car (especially since they haven't even seen it yet), Detroit would have cut all funding and cancelled the FH project and probably have closed up the factory by now.

Yeah I remember Mitsubishi stopping production only one month after their announcement, let alone releasing two updated models prior to shutdown.

Ah thanks for that I can see the sensor. I was expecting them to be in the bumper. Does the Tez get them too??

spyman03 · 10-02-2014, 06:02 PM

And the gratuitous and mostly unfounded negativity by some on this forum (eg "IMO this will be one of the most under whelming updated Fords to be released in many years") will not "just give the motoring journos a bit more fuel to throw at the fire" ?

Thanks mate, it certainly looks like they are there.

So front parking sensors, and we know the Tez has EPAS. I wonder if park assist has found its way in...

XtRmn8 · 10-02-2014, 08:45 PM

Hi spyman03, welcome to AFF and thank you for pictures and information you have provided.

Without you we would have nothing but speculation in this thread.

spyman03 · 10-02-2014, 08:46 PM

hey,

ive had little to do with tezza atm all I know they keep the dash
heavy covered when park out side the factory but I did see the console and it still had the silver running up to the dash, door trim looked the same

I was more focused on the XR6 that was in the truck ;-)

god truck drivers don't take too long to pee these days;-)

spyman03 · 10-02-2014, 08:48 PM

hey thanks,

but I have been posting on and off for years under diff name

regards spyman

XtRmn8 · 10-02-2014, 08:57 PM

Having a good look at the two pictures showing the front sensors in the bumper and grille, it looks like there is a lot of black tape covering what could be chrome trim around the upper grille and driving lights

One of the bad points about FG Mk2 XR front is just too much black plastic and nothing to break it up.

Looking forward to seeing more of the new Falcon.

JG34JA · 10-02-2014, 09:13 PM

Pretty sure the answer to that was floating about quite a while ago.

I guess I was concerned as to whether it was still on the table or the razor gang had chopped it.

Will we see some of that stuff originally slated for the FG on release, like capless refuelling and the plastic boot floor?

superfly · 10-02-2014, 10:06 PM

I'm hanging out to see this car! Unfortunately I won't be able to upgrade but I'm still excited about seeing the last Falcon ever.

Well the point about features getting cut, there's no reason to cut if they've been signed off, in scope and the development funds have been committed.

On the last bit, I don't think I could answer that on this page.
