Cant come soon enough with the comparisons with the VF calling the FG outdated, especially the interior.

The VF interior is shithouse. Cheap and tacky. Too much going on. Looks like a squashed alien head. Brand loyalty aside, the FG interior is clean and functional. Doesn't have 750 thousand knobs all over the joint and random shiny bits. Although admittedly the earlier FG's with the silver highlights were horrible. The black and faux carbon fiber are much nicer.

For me, FG's exterior is nicer. But VF's interior murders the Fords. Looks amazing.

Best not to build your hopes up too high for the next model Falcon, it will not contain any significant changes or upgrades. Ford will just do enough to freshen it enough to see it to its end.

Not surprised if Ford had this attitude towards the Falcon. They really haven't don't it any favours in a very competitive market
