Boosted Falcon

This seemed to come out of the blue:

Curtain airbags across the range at last, USB port, colour touch screen except on base models, styling changes, reduced cabin noise levels and additional sat nav features for G6E models. The four cylinder turbo is confirmed for early next year.

Looks like the new territory!

Looks preety lame.
The huge grill makes it look like a fish.
The territory front end looks much tougher

New wheels should be interesting

certain models improved, others seem a step back.
but until they're seen in the flesh its a tough call.

i kinda like the XT though, would be good coupled with the LPi option

Here's hoping now they have projector headlights we will see HID at last
As john said. Some look great. Some look very bland
Xr's could do without the upper grille (or a more sports looking one at least - the old F6 mesh instead would look great)

Be interesting to see the direction the FPV's take on mk2

Yeah fpv will be interesting

I'm surprised they haven't changed the whole headlight to be the Territory one.
At least that compliments the lower 'fish' mouth. What was the point of the Territory adopting the same indicator cut-out as the falcon in the quarter panel if they were still going to have different lights.

Ford you do strange things at times

Abit less bottem grill and it would look very nice..............

I just want the FG2 to come out ASAP to drop prices on current FG's so i can buy it cheaper LOL

mmm they really shoulda gone the terri lights.

Definitely a smaller lower grill would have been better. Terri lights on the G6 or something would be nice.

Dislike.

I've seen very few new car launches which are not met with a bunch of 'experts' on forums immediately rubbishing it based on the earliest photographs. Probably won't change any time soon either.

Caradvice.com.au has provided some good comparative shots.


Falcon XT


Falcon G6E Turbo


Falcon XR6


Falcon XL ute

Looks like a winner all round. Good work Ford.

g6et pic reminds me of benders teeth or something in futurama.

not a big fan of the new cheesy grin style

i reckon the xt/xl is the biggest winner in fg2, they look pretty good for the povo packs...

I like em

Not a fan of the massive grills, don't like the new terrirtory either.

BF Mk II is the best looking falcon and fairmonts I reckon. And the 2nd latest territory.

Hate euro styling .

They look good, the XR's look great.

looks like ford styled masarati or something lol

could picture a huge front mount on the front of the turbo ones.heaps of air flow i reckon.

Personally I reckon they look pretty good... when I squint and look at the front grill kinda
reminds me of some of the recent Aston Martins; at least the top section of their grills...

They look very "now", and not making the base model look like a pov-pack should be a winner. Here's hoping the lpi model is a hit with private and fleet buyers alike.

Personally i'd still pick an ef/el high series or ba-bf2 high series for styling, but you just can't beat new cars for safety.

I hate the new terrys... so rest look like crap to me Euro styling FTL!!!

They look good I reckon. Esp the G6ET. Pretty minor update, nothing to get your g-string in a twist about.
