I thought the mustang already is under 'One Ford'. As its the only sports car they make, hence its one platform per segment. Likewise the F-series, as its the only pick-up they make - so these would satisfy it? I thought 'One Ford' was to combine the variety of platforms they make across regions into one, such as small cars, family cars, vans, etc. |

Those are obviously amateur pics of the interior and are not one bit flattering. The interior looks a lot better in the flesh, and a mile ahead of the Falcon in appearance and functionality. (IMO) |

True, people go on about the Camry/Aurion being bland, but really, the current models have a real nice look on the outside, a base FG is very bland...

That thing looks like a mutton dressed up as lamb to me, get a load of that big fat **** hanging down the back. No hint of a hip line, a front end that doesn't quite gel with the rest of the car, and a bland turret.
All wrapped up in a car about as heavy as a falcon and front wheel drive. Woo-Hoo. Needles to say, not impressed with it. P.S. are you blokes for real on the modern look? Can anyone say interior? Looks like it was designed in the eighties. Very clutterd, lots of square shapes, a gear stick out of 1985, and miles of black. But wait, there's tan seats. Did I happen to mention Woo-Hoo....

The back end looks crap. I don't like the headlights either, the FG lights look way better. It might just be the image I was looking at, but compared to the seat height, the dash looked very high. Other then that, I see black, hard looking plastic. |

FG falcon has a fat ****, as did the BA...what about the XA-C coupes...hmmm Hip line is about in inch down from the waist, it seems Americans favor a high hipline, small turrent look. Fail to see the front not gelling with the car, the lights flow down and have a shape common with the gaurd vents, mirrors and turrent. The let down is the big corperate 3 bar grill, and slopped rear...with horrid lights. ![]() And the MobSteel version, because its badass ![]()

I quite like it it, can see the interceptor and 60's big Ford styling ques, Galaxie/Fairlane, especially the back.
Just a pity the non SHO models are FWD. Its the the lower spec FG that looks very plain. |

I bet if that wasn't the Taurus, and it was the design of the next generation Falcon, everybody on here would think it looks awesome. The first one I saw on the road, I couldn't believe it was a Taurus, I thought it was some European car. I had already seen pics on the internet, but when i saw it in the flesh, it took me a minute to realize it was a Taurus. I have to say that I am a fan. Plus that EcoBoost engine is just sensational to drive. Would I buy one? Not sure, so many good choices out there now.

And for the record. Aussie XA/XB/XC Coupes are some of the best looking cars period, how could you even consider a Coupe and that computer aided FOPAR in the same light? Shame on you Nikked :-P Quote:

Lastly, I've never been a fan of cars that have the headlights and or tail lights that wrap too far up over the top or around the sides of the car too much. Some notable ones I've disliked, and can recall at this moment, include such greats as the the mid nineties model mondeo's (you know the ones, where the headlights looked like Dame-Edna-Everage's sunglasses), or the second to last or last Magna that came out before the 380, or even the AU for that matter. Headlights that spent far to much time around the sides of the car rather than at the front of the car need a clip around the ears and to be told to get back to their seat. But I shall put you boys out of your misery, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I'm not trying to Diss anyone here. If you think this car is as good as it gets, then good for you. Its just not for me. Bit too plain in the middle and a bit too OTT at the ends. ![]() |
