Could be both John. Graziano said about a year ago there was "one final update" planned for E8 (this is the 2014 update), this was long before the announcement at the beginning of this year of a taxpayer and FoMoCo cash injection, which, as I understand it, was restricted to fuel efficiency improvements anyway.

For Graziano to say over a year ago there was another model in the works - this was before FGII came out too - means that it had already been budgeted for and work being conducted on the model.

There was also a few things we know were supposed to be implemented on FG and FGII but were cut on cost grounds...capless refuelling and a plastic boot floor were two that spring to mind. The rest of it will simply be parts bin stuff from around the globe.

But it won't matter what it gets, people on this forum will still whinge and crap on about how crap it is...
