Understand that it is the place to discuss it, I would have thought other areas were of more interest but each have their own priorities. Hmmmm like I said not whining, so no need to jump to conclusions. Like you said though, a place to discuss it, one mans whine is another man's discussion . FYI the antenna in my BA and BF2 that was integrated in the glass resulted in terrible reception. FM had AM quality radio.

Radio in my BFGT works a treat - no reception issues in suburban or outer suburban areas. |

Well the fact I said "I don't think so" mean's that's what I think, not what I know...

yeah i have metallic tint on the side windows and non metallic on the back of the FG to prevent any issues, did the same with my BA/BF and it was good in that too - depends on many factors though
i guess it won't be an issue in F?

You guys don't seem to get it, Spyman did an excellent job at slowly revealing the whole front and rear end to us in bits and pieces. If you don't know what it's going to look like then you haven't been paying any attention. Some of you are just trying to start an argument for your own entertainment. And those people who reckon they've been asking me all these questions, I don't know who the hell you guys are anyway. If you messaged me on my page privately and asked these 'Questions' then we wouldn't have a problem.
I'm not telling lies at all, the pieces to the puzzle are all there, Spyman has shown us pretty much all the front and rear end of the car, as all the other parts of the exterior of the car have been carried over from the FG. Stop judging, and bagging out others. If I've seen the front and rear then I've seen the bloody official car as that's what's been changed on it! This is pathetic! Oh and I've received some extremely good feedback about my page, so I'm not letting 3 blokes stop me over jealousy... |

Back on topic, apparently new the 2014 Falcon's are already starting to roll along the production line, with a release in around 3/4 months, (Apparently). Will Ford reveal the Falcon with the GT-F. As Ford has confirmed to me on numerous occasions that the 2014 Falcon will have a 'comprehensive' launch plan.

Who cares anyways. Turn the radio down, open sunroof or lower drivers side window and press right foot hard on acceleartor and listen to the BOSS roar. Best kind of music.

Callum31 this is AFF not Facebook so please stop banging on about your page. The problem some people have had with you here is not your excitement and enthusiasm over the new Falcon but that you type everything as though you have some authority over the whole situation when you're no different to anyone else here.
Put it to bed, and let's all just enjoy the thread without the unnecessary poo-slinging.

And yes they are building them but they aren't retail cars, they are still final phase pre-production from what I have been told. Which probably explains why we are starting to see some changes filter into FG3.

I'm about as picky as they come - make no mistake. Have had 6K worth of front Bremo calipers replaced because they had a slight run in the paint that started to fade and I wasnt happy. If my radio wasnt working properly - I'm the type that would get the whole car replaced under warranty - not just the radio fixed. My post was in jest about making a possibly difficult situation a good one, not one of ignorance or apathy.

Still some people have that attitude of exactly what I'd mentioned, I remember a Holden dealer giving the same advice to a customer. Too many times does this happen and the manufacturer just lets it slide. Before you know it there are several areas of quality concern that could have been fixed initially but were just considered "minor."

Cool, photos don't do the changes justice so far. The cut out looked very similar.

Anyway when the FX Falcon is revealed and we see it doesn't have a 220kW 6cyl or a new interior (two things you claimed...), we'll know once and for all if you know "more than others or less"... |

****** me, if we get all the assumptions off of FF's we wont have many posts left... Just leave the bloke alone... Go Ford!
Those night photos show some well designed and thought out taillights. The most effort they have ever gone too. Fantastic!

Focus, I did not 'claim' that, that is what one bloke told me who has been in the factory and seen it as his mate works at Ford. Ford usually gain at least 5kw with every new Falcon, so the new one should at least hit 200kw.

We should expect Sync in the new Falcon as that's Ford's whole global strategy of 'Going Further'. Maybe the longer antenna is for better Satellite navigation for Sync and all that? Maybe they put it on the FG MKII so people won't notice the antenna as much on the new model? To make as if it's always been there or something?
I'm not sure but I don't think anymore money will be spent on the MKII, as they have a really tight budget on Falcon now and will spend it mostly on the FH and new Territory. |
