That would certainly be a simple and effective way of leap frogging past Holden's VE II Commodore......

Well that's a good thing, as even the 04 Territory design hasn't dated yet IMO...

hmmm I like the headlights and upper grille on the photoshopped falcon above ^^^. But the lower grill just doesnt suit it IMO
Maybe if it were a little smaller and incorporated the honeycomb plastic that we love

What model Territory is this though? If you look at the SY MK2 Ghia they have chrome around the bottom half of the side windows and also across the back door etc.. (I'm not sure but I cannot see chrome around windows).

Just makes me think that this maybe just a TS equivalent model with Ghia wheels? I could be wrong though.

The new grille REALLY suits the pre-existing FPV bumper!

For better differentiation between Ford and FPV, could the normal Falcons have a MC Mondeo face?

Maybe style the front more like 2011 Focus with single chrome strip in upper gap
and perhaps adding those diagonal colour struts into big void below bumper.

Maybe a nice person skilled with photo shop could give us a Focus inspired front:

Don't be surprised if people think the vehicle is changed much more than it is, combine
that radical front with subtle rear changes and refreshed interior and most casual observers
will think there's been a awful lot of changes there.

That's why I'm thinking Ford will pull this off.....

Merry Christmas everyone,

I agree jpd80 and considering the interior is not a direct copy of the FG plus gains some features not seen on a locally built car, it's not going to be a "hohum seen it all before" type of first impression.

It's a bold looking front end. Little lower with some bigger wheels and you've got a pretty handsome looking car.

You're dead right about that, with those two pics I posted that was the first thing I looked at. Makes the old one look frumpy and...err, old.

I can't beleive how much the look of the new Territory has grown on me since the pics of the black one surfaced. I was very sceptical of the white one but in black it looks awesome. I agree RW, it certainly makes the current Territory look dated and frumpy.

BTW the orange FPV chop looks extremely angry. Which is a good thing. I like, it looks great in my opinion. The raccoon eyes might need a little work however. Please god though don't put that Focus front on the Falcon. In the pics in my opinion it looks

Not liking it so far, but will wait for it in the flesh. The front and back look fast whereas from the C pillar to the A pillar it looks slow. If you get what I'm saying...

well saw my first in the wild spotting, a black TX on the pacific hwy north coast nsw at macksville on the skinny bridge as it crosses the river. It looked handsome, much less in your face than what pics had led me to believe. The taillights looked good too in real life, the one thing it needs is rear ornamentation, like a chrome strip or something on the back. A good looking car.

That front end looks good on the road. Pity we need front numberplates, it would look tops without it.
