265,000 views and no official pics! Who said there is no interest in our beloved Falcon? What number will we reach before an official pic? I'm thinking ~400,000, any other guesses?

I'm guessing you're not one of those 265,000 views, then? If you crawl through this thread you'll see plenty of official images. Firstly from a video shown at the Syd motor show (the pics were admittedly very vague) and then more images (some quite detailed) shown at Ford's Go Further event last year.

There's certainly interest in the new Falcon... Just not a whole lot from actual buyers.

Well that was silly! The Sydney motor show images are a laugh are they not? I don't mean some half covered shadowed imaged or a peek at a 1/10th of one panel, something not "vague".

So, I want a full FOA release "show me the money ", "let me see the beaver", "full frontal" image to be clearer

I agree that the Syd motor show pics were quite vague (I admitted this above) but the Going Further event images were quite detailed (headlights and foggies especially). From that short video we essentially know what the front end of the XR is going to look like.

Get in touch with your inner sea-gull and head to your local garbage tip - never know what pics can be found blowing around the dump apparently.

Does he work for work for Ford ?

If so maybe an "hourly" employee, or if not, a contractor.

Hey,

Well what can I say the dash has had a minor update
From what I've seen this week all I can say is don't blink or you'll miss it

Sadly xr8 loses the remote start,on the car I've seen but their could be a upper spec the leather is stitched with ice blue colour

I had the chance the see that red ute,the one I shot some months ago it's a column auto and had the new inserts and the USB ports and etc are at the base of the dash where the tissue box once sat pretty poor finish I must say
So sedans must be in the console
And the orange gt-f had a set of seats trim not to similar to camaro in the head rest area and bloody low to the ground for testing

Give me a little time to show you some info(security)

Hey,
Road-warrior I must explain myself I should have said and was meaning to say push start like the FPV

You guys have seen me post about the burgundy one well that had the start button,well basically FPV spec

And the one I shot mid last week has the new "trim" work but retains standard key start so it sounds like they are getting the spec too an adorable price

So it looks like the hero car is all about that sexy motor
