Default What Falcon is this??

Hey all, watching the news tonight they had a segment on safety ratings, they showed a picture of a Flacon but I'm pretty sure I've never seen a one like this before, or am I living on another planet???

whoever produced the com-gen image is the one living on another planet!

That's all it is - reminds me of a "scoop" story in Wheels speculating on an FG update, where they draft a Taurus inspired front end onto the FG body shape.
