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

The one you "shot" last week?
Any chance we could see the pics?
Thanks again

Lets try and not get into a 'us and them' debate. Thats why the link wont work as they do what they want to do and AFF does what it sees fit and we dont need to know what each of us do. Each to their own and don't want to spend anytime talking about whats happening on other sites as I am sure they don't need to talk about AFF.

Thanks

Well said. It was just a question Daz.

I'm a member of dozens of Car & Truck forums. Most of which have a thread on the new/last Falcon with Spyman pix. A new Falcon is a significant event in the Australian motoring landscape so you expect interest.

Sheesh.

And thats whats it all about ...... we have a few good months to kill before the release is revealed so as much teasing and talking things up to keep the interest is appropriate.

After all, as Elks just said ..... this is pretty important in the realm of the Ford Falcons. Somewhat!!!!

If you want to know what the Falcon will look like, you only need to morph all these into a large RWD. This is the new Escort ........ talk about a One Ford!

Hey,

Lol could someone speed check the last 90+ pages and quote the number where we said that this was penned by the same guy that did falcon.

That new grille will fit in the hole of every car that's coming out soon

Wait until you see the new Everest/ranger update interior,minor changes but more up spec,
the two toned interior is flash top spec gets a full moon roof and the air vents in the rear are above your head.

There are people in the US already saying the Aston Martin grille is becoming too derivative,
it looks good IMO but wonder if all of the cars will date badly....
