Question Re: What if this was the 2014 Falcon ??

Last of the breed?
Collectors item?
Sells up a short storm?
Dumped?
Australian automobile manufacturing history?

What if the 2014 Falcon actually uses variations of Territory head lights and bonnet but has more like Fusion front styling,
that way a lot of the parts would be economically re used and remaining changes achieved by new front clip,
Rear lights could also be variations of SZ Territory and include slight but impressive changes to the boot lid....

Not saying that's what's happening, just my own opinions......

That would be both a winner in looks and feasibility!
Here's hoping. Picture looks good. Would be happy if it took on these cue's.

I'm hoping that does not happen. SZ territory lights will be 4 years old by then & 2014 Falcon needs to be as fresh as it can possibly be with the limited budget & sheet metal changes. Using lights that are old is not the way to go in my opinion.

Question Re: What if this was the 2014 Falcon ??

Might get lucky and Territory changes lights too.

They will have a little but of freedom I suppose if they don't change. After all SY and BA were the same light unit but still visually distinctive. SZ lights I think will still be fresh enough in 2014 compared to the similarities to 2013 Fusion and 2011 Taurus. I think they're going to keep the wedge shape still even if they do change.

It would be nice to see a complete new design, bit boring if it looks like previous models.

Hmmm, I like the styling in terms of brutishness and muscle car...ness. But its certainly not a pretty or beautiful machine.
Its sort of like someone has crossed an FG with a Tonka Truck.

I like it, If they were selling that as the last falcon I'd go and buy one brand new as long as it had the f6 powerplant in it

That's nice and muscelly, I like it execpt for the flaring over the front wheels.
Don't want it looking like a VE Commondore, hate those flares....
