Think Ford Fusion styling on Falcon chassis.
The grill is unsuprising, they do own Aston Martin afterall. Final stab at the fastest Australian production car? ;)

In some ways it is kinda sad. Sort of like a famous sportsman warming up, before running onto the field for his last game before retirement.

I'm savouring these spy pic moments, this will be the LAST time we will ever experience them.
What ever FH looks like, comes with, interior is, I don't care, let me have my little bit of excitement and keep the negativity out of this thread. Looking forward to the last Falcon

My research tells me that the bonnet scoop pictured is on the Mad Max concept designed by Nima Nurian, which is on display in the foyer of the design centre.

if the front end is a dead straight drop down and square like it seems under that black cover it'll be interesting to see.
i like a bit of slope on the front end

Also what is the pattern embossed into the doors?
Am I seeing something or is something being covered up with white sheeting?

didn't notice that at first - if i were to guess i'd say it's something stuck on to 'throw people off'. I hope so because it looks totally out of place and ugly.

I don't suppose you could confirm whether or not the FH will have an all new interior?

Fair point. But for some, it means the difference between buying an FH and not buying an FH.

I never realised how fiddly the fg icc is, but after driving my au lane then jumping back in the fg I really think the usability has gone backwards. The au is just easy. Buttons are large and well defined, commen sense layout mostly. Fg looks better but doesnt work better imo

the fg takes longer to get used to yes, with buttons in somewhat odd locations but you get used to it quick enough

The thing im looking forward to is switching from XR to G series. I am so sick of black interiors, light colored ones are so visually refreshing and 'alive'. Black seats occasionally receive direct sunlight and they are ouchy for a while.

Completely serious. Black/charcoal interiors sucketh! Go look at your Ferraris or Mercs or BMWs, they all offer sand/camel/cashmere colored interiors. 10 times nicer to the eye than yucko blacko deado burnto color. |

i meant this bit..
Quote:
My AU3 (now sold) had a full black interior and it was the best interior of any of the 13 Falcmontlane's i've owned.. so your comment is purely personal choice. I love the cashmere interior of BF2/FG luxo models yes, but they tend to wear and are quite hard to keep clean. i doubt they're going to offer more leather colour choices, but it'd be a nice touch. My Rio if bought overseas gets the option of black, cream or caramel leather interior, here i got the choice of: black.

You can't got past the white/beige leather/wood/chrome combination.
That cashmere colour combination was popular in the G Series wasn't it? It's certainly the colour combination (or similar) I'd be looking at in 2016 if I can convince myself that I need a FH G6ET... |
