Also Sync aint that special (in any of the Fords), and only adresses a little bit of the 'Tech' deficiency. There is a lot more money thats needed to get the Tech that people 'seem' to want even if the top selling cars are not the leader in tech.

yeah ok

So their is something in their about what is and could be coming
its up to ford as to how much more than the "FH" xr8 it gets, if they want YOU to pay a prem over the out going car

I've gone on record that I've seen it and have a short grunt video of the orange one that they have been testing

It's all spec ATM

as I still to this day have the very first xr8 FG front that was changed six months in to its prototyping due to commodore and also the what you call black edition I've had that front since 2009/10

That cars been on the will we do it or not since then

Spyman

All Bollocks and waffle.

THERE IS NO NEW SUPERCHARGER .......

G'day guys, I still don't get it, and it seriously bugs me. In the tease video, it clearly shows the Hook DRL's as one of the key features on the new Falcon, but so far I have seen no evidence of it on any of the testing prototypes. Unless it's only on the XR8, not any of the other XR models. As on this testing model it shows a strip of LED's running at the bottom of the headlamp, unless the tape is hiding the hook shape or something? And the test version is clearly an XR model.

HELP ME!!!!!

FPV GTHO · 08-04-2014, 07:32 PM

Only the XR's will get the twin DRL's it seems. If they haven't Bern seen on any mules, it's likely.none of the mules captured were XR's then.

It could be XR8 specific, but it seems like more of a new interpretation of the XR twin lights than something to differentiate the top model.

Just looking at the new focus sedan and it seems to have similar front end treatment to the preview pics of the FH falcon.

Looks more blue to me like the current Vanish colour, look below the fog light, it's very blue

AGS302 · 11-04-2014, 12:47 AM

Looks like Petroleum.

**Professor Farnsworth** · 11-04-2014, 12:51 AM

the picture is simply suffering a little from artifact issues - it looks silhouette to me

Bonn · 11-04-2014, 08:20 AM

The mule itself looks Petroleum.....behind the front splitter

I'm not sure if they still use it, but Sandown had an XR6 Turbo safety car with a front bar very similar to that

**Professor Farnsworth** · 11-04-2014, 11:43 AM

i'm just going to say it.. i hate the way they've swapped and made the upper grille huge and the lower grille small - i know it's the final step in blending it into the 'family' image but i think it looks crap (for a falcon). I reckon they should have let it go out on its own styling which was certainly not that config.

it'll still probably be a good car, just expressing my opinion.

It won't be all things to everyone I guess. But hopefully it will look better once we see an example with the covers off.

FPV GTHO · 11-04-2014, 12:41 PM

I disagree. The big lower grille had to go, it was what the global SUV styling was leading to and looked like FOA had jumped the gun putting it on.

with one final iteration that 'doesn't sell', i don't see why retaining the traditional styling, or a variation of would do anything to harm other segment sales.

but like i said, it's my opinion, i don't expect others to agree.

MAD · 11-04-2014, 02:31 PM

Big upper grill, small lower.... might as well be an XD.. haha
