Not sure if this has been posted, but here it is from Bob himself.

I'm excited to announce that today we officially unveil the New Smart Design FG Falcon MkII which will go into production towards the end of the year. Not long after you read this, the industry will be provided with a press release containing all of the exciting new features and technologies that we've brought to bear in this, our most advanced Falcon ever. But before sharing with the media, I wanted to provide the Ford team with the first look at the key features we've introduced, as well as a sneak peak at some of the new styling cues that signal the next step in our Falcon journey.



This Falcon is packed with more technologies and features than ever previously offered by Ford in this market sector.



Smart technology such as the introduction of a new 8.0 inch colour touch screen which provides customers an advanced, yet user-friendly, interface to control all the main in-car functions such as audio, phone and satellite navigation systems.


An enhanced safety offering with the inclusion of side curtain airbags as standard across all Falcon sedans, and side head/thorax airbags as standard on all Falcon Ute models.


Premium features and design appointments which refine the quality of Falcon even further, including USB audio integration, projector headlamps, rear parking sensors, new alloy wheel designs and improved levels of comfort and quietness.


An exterior design that makes the Falcon a more refined, composed and confident offering. With current kinetic design influences, all FG Falcon MkII models feature new tri-plane front end architecture with signature trapezoidal main grille. The new front fascia designs incorporate new bumpers, new slimline upper air intake with wing-form grille blades that cradle the Blue Oval badge, new lower trapezoidal main grille, new supplementary lower cooling slot and new grille finishes.


To complete the package, in early 2012 we will introduce Ford's patented EcoBoost engine technology in Falcon. EcoBoost uses direct injection and turbocharging to deliver more power and performance from a lower displacement powerplant, yet with impressive fuel economy and CO2 emissions.
