Default What next after the BF?

Ok, so off the top of my very tired head, we have
XA XB XC XD XE XF
EA EB ED EF EL
AU BA BF

So do you reckon next is the BD or BL?
BL at a guess, just because they appear to have already skipped BD.
As long as they don't go BR, BP, BN, BK, etc. Sound unforgivably like commodore models....

Wait, isnt it meant to be an all new model, dosnt that mean a whole new number, like not to much changed greatly from EA-EL (well it did i suppose) but i just thought when a whole new model was released it got a new code. Meh, its late, im going to bed.

The shape of the BA seems to be soo popular now ive even seen hol*en lovers convert to smart Ford lovers over the BA's so im thinking their going to keep that shape for a while considering how many they have sold over the last couple of years(Just look at how many are on the road). I hope they mass produce the GT's and GT-P's so they can be affordable for joe blows. With a bit of luck the next few B* models will steer clear of hol*en's model lettering and keep the same similar style as the BA/BF. Hope all that made sense its 1:20AM

Oh yeah. I think it was now I think about it. Well done and silly, silly me. And yeah, all new model, surely it'll be another letter. The C-series?

Heh. BO falcon.

With the down sizing of the car industry world wide, Holden canning their Monaro due to poor sales/high costs I cannot see Ford bringing out a two door.

Why not indeed. I keep getting the image in my head of a two door with the BF front end and slick slopping rear end with a nice rear wing...... Big wheels, big brakes. A car that makes a statement.... But I fear that time is running out for our beloved V8's. Fuel is going to get scarce and expensive in the next few years...... Bugger!!

The size of that door is ridiculous, I imagine it would be incredibly heavy.

The chop looks great. Why does it have an XR6 badge on the skirts and a F6 badge on the grill? It looks awesome.

Isn't the next planned to be released in the first quarter of 2007. Called project Orion, IIRC? I would call it the BG.

Well all models below GT and GTP don't do anything for me except that they are a big improvement over AU base models, won't be buying any
prefer AU Tickford's and XA-C coupe's

Glad the BA's did sell well though, ford was in serious trouble for a while
Maybe C as it's next in line or go to F1 (GTP), F2 GT, F3 Typhoon F4 XR, F5 and 6 for base models

Lol, well it was a quick chop, i could only find one decent angled BF photo, (I was in a hurry so just used google images) and then i just put the Typhoon front bits onto it, never got around to removing the XR6 badge. Woops lol

It just looks too much like a Mondaro over the bum and it's not original, I don't know that I like it. Each to his own I guess, but I'd rather not buy something that has been made to look like something Holden makes. Hence why I love Territory and ute and normal Falcon, but why a Falcon coupe or an AWD Falcon Wagon would be the last thing I'd consider owning.

Well if it does, i guess you could say that the monaro's and falcons back end looks the same slightly, because all i did to actually give the coupe its shape was move the passengers b pillar back abit, take the door line back, and give it a mild roof chop. Thats just how the shape turned out to be. So it shows like its not that much different to a normal falcon. And since holden makes something, does that mean no other car company can make a product similar? It hasnt been 'made' to look like a holden, its been make to look like a falcon coupe. Anyway your entitled to an opinion.

As the next Falcon will be an all new model, I think that the model designation will start with another letter altogether.
