Last Falcon has 'Stang cues

[Darren_L]

I definitely don't hate it,
not sure if I like it though yet, the nose is very Mustang even a bit Lancer
it's definitely a very aggressive nose

it could easily grow on me
would like to see it in black

Meh you get almost GTS levels of power for SS money!!! Who cares what it looks like!
2015 Ford Falcon XR6 Turbo to feature FPV F6 310kW engine?
Here's hoping for cheap 310kw 6's for all!

How is 310 close to 430?

It's still impressive but not close to the GTS. Now if they did a turbo 8 I'd be interested. Or even better, a V8 territory turbo.

Ford XR-8's - Final Stand - BBC Top Gear Australia

unfortunately the rear end is very mondeo, kinda lets the rest of the car down

I'm surprised how radical the restyle is for an outgoing model - one last hurrah indeed.

Saving the best till last , might help the falcons poor sales even here in NZ they can't shift them

not much different here, Falcon sales nosedived about the time the AU came out and never ever recovered fully.

It's a remarkably extensive (expensive) facelift for a car with only two years left in it. I like it and agree with an earlier post that asked why they waited this long to bring that design out. If that car had been introduced at the time of the FG II facelift, it might have resulted in improved sales, though not enough to save the Falcon from being phased out.

I don't give a fig what it resembles - as an overall package, it looks good. It's almost impossible to design a car these days that doesn't look like something you've already seen - you can only draw a three-box design so many ways.

Just a shame they left it so late.

Yes it's hard to see the logic in doing a facelift on a car going through its death rows .
