LOL,American sites do the same to me when i suggest Falcon, it's seen as as basically two generations behind the market.

Examples of comments on new GT Falcon variant:

Not bad looking but the styling is still stuck in the late 1990's-early 2000's

I love the fact its RWD and V8, I'm all for it, but the styling reminds me quite a bit of what Chrysler did with the 300...tuck, tuck, cut and it's just getting tiring this late in the game, but more power to them...

I don't see how this equates to Lincoln getting anything anytime soon. And no, slapping a Lincoln grille on this car wouldn't make them any more credible in the least.

That Falcon Boss is bad@ss looking, and is what the Taurus SHO should be, RWD with a screaming V8.

I find the FG Falcon's styling to be classic, functional, understated, and elegant. It should stand the test of time better than flamboyant and overdone designs from the mid to late 2000s.

And ideal for a "Q Ship" like this latest high performance variant. :shades:

unfortunately I doubt it would work here...too late to the party as such....actually looks a tad dated to me...

I don't think it's standing the test of time now, let alone how it'll hold up in another 20-30 years.

I was in NZ 12 years ago and saw a new Falcon and thought it was........interesting, even hot in XR trim, but not the most attractive car even then.
