Yes, but they would still need to roadtest for NVH, durability of the structure, wind noise etc. i am sure they are not just going to buid job 1 and cross their fingers.

I bet some prototypes might be running around You Yangs already.

Plenty of design and electrical change. This requires all sorts of testing and the requirement of mules. |

No way. It's too good looking to be a Camry.

I spotted a left hand drive focus yesterday (looked good to ) in front of it was a terry shaped vehicle with a lot of cammo on it and in front of that was a vehicle roughly the same size as a falcon covered in cammo a heap nearly every panel was covered as well
when I took out the camera to take a pic they shot down the fist street available this was on Thompson road nth geelong at approx 730 in the morning one thing i noticed was there was a crap load of computers etc in them and they were and the passenger was playing around big time

I'm hanging out for the last Falcon ever. Excuse me if the questions has already been asked and answered, but will this replacement have a different interior than the FG? I know the outside is supposed to me a sheet metal redesign, but I hope the dash gets a makeover as well.

I do agree it should be going on sale now or early next year at the latest.

I would almost bet the 2014 Falcon will not eventuate.
Look how bad the sales are right now and how little the public cares. In a years time the Falcon will be forgotten by the general public and everyone will have moved on. Ford absolutely NEED to release some pictures and info already. Not a single thing has been said aside from namedropping the XR8, and no one outside of Ford fans gives a **** about the XR8. As far as the general non-Ford diehards are concerned, the past few models of XR8's were seen as slugs with boat anchor motors and povvo interiors. I had an FG XR8 and I know it was easily faster than as SS and on par with a HSV, but try tell that to anyone other than a Ford fan.

someone just go out to the proving grounds and hang around in the trees? The cars will come and go. Sell the pics to the magazines. You should get $1000 or so. They wont take photos taken looking into the site with big zooms, but if any drive past on the dirt roads outside easy money.

The LED Headlights shown in the teaser do not correspond to the ones in the photo.

I'm not sure were you are coming from here?? Yes they are low compared to historically data. But based on the current line rate they have selling all they build & don’t need down days to balance stock to sales. If sales remain at current levels lock in 2014 Falcon, because it is coming!!
