Some are a bit out there, a particular member addition the forum didnt really need but in saying that every (o(k up over the past 10 years has lead to this point. Maybe it was inevitable but Ford was always in control, they make the moves and we comment on them.

Of course their biggest fan base is going to make a racket on the last of a series thats due soon yet nothing said other than some BS launch that was really about every other car in the showroom.

You reap what you sow.

You have actually "viewed the new 2014 Falcon" (on a primary level) - or just seen some Photos of what is purported to be the final edition (or a variation of a mule) of the final falcon ???? Two very Different things !!!!

Most of us have gotten a fairly good glimpse on what the front and rear will look like. It wasn't a major question just to see what everybody thought of it so far, the progress...

You obviously have no idea of the simple issue I raised - the fundamental difference between primary (actual) and secondary (representative) reality / evidence.

Put simply, a person cannot say with accuracy they have "seen" something if they have only seen some photos - which merely represent or purport to represent the object in question - (and we have all seen the photos anyway !!!).

Furthermore the photos are probably not an accurate representation of the final iteration anyway - especially the interior.

Who is "us"? The civilian people here on this forum seeing sneak photos as they come in? Or you and your insiders who have seen more?

Far out that looks great. Reminds me a lot of the current Audi style.

Also gives some good leads to you photoshop guru's with the way the light/ quarter panel and the bonnet with its sharp creases lead into the grille.

Can't wait to see the XR's

Yeah Im hanging to see the XR's! I wonder if they will bump the kws up a little for the final run, not 310 but 280 or something (XR6T). Would be nice.

Umm... based off that picture, I think you're jumpin' the start line. Lets wait to see it in the flesh. So Far, Ford's design looks far more stream lines than Mitsu's.
