2008 Falcon Revealed

[RNGTR]

Now that ive looked at it all avro I cant wait for this to arrive, 4 doors, modern ergonomics, 300kw turbo 6 from the factory horn looks....... im sold.

[EKSMUD]

u guys are all retarded... so basically your saying this looks like a VE which means the VE was a copy of the BA because these new fords look the same as the BA?

LOL

no wonder most of u drive 33s

so you're saying 33s driver are retarded?

[adam-__-]

i reckon anything from Ssangyong (spelling) have to be the ugliest cars ever produced.

but fords are a close second (except the FPV models)

The new Falcon looks alright. When I first saw it, I thought VE, but I guess I wouldn't mind one.

[inark]

so you're saying 33s driver are retarded?

well i said all... so in no uncertain terms i guess you could definately quite possibly determine that within a 100% certainty of being probable.

[**JaR**]

ni is right....the VE basically stole the headlights off the BA and the roof/doors look extremely similar to the BA as well, this new ford is just the next step up for the BA, and still looks like a ford, which holden stole parts of for the VE anyway

[Russman]

Very Very Cool! The BA is a great shape and this builds on it. 2008 is very close.

And... the VE sucks (not the SS's though).

[LTHLRB]

the new ve range produces alot of noise.. but dont really move anywhere?

you know what hammers... VM TRANSIT TURBO DIESEL 6SPEED MANUAL!!!

they go bloody good for a van

[Al]

could be worse anyone remember the AU falcon

I still drive one

But it's ALL free; so i don't complain too much

[LTHLRB]

AU's are a good falcon!! better than many other cars

[R-SPEC]

Looks alright to me, I also like the look of the VE, but they should get it right and release a ute at the same time instead of selling the old one for ages...

D40 Navara FTW!!

i know, i was driving one and it lit up 5 gear lol although it was wet but still impressive haha

[Mean_R34]

Bodywoork above doors (ie roof) still looks like a sh!tty AU!!

I doo like the front end tho. Dunno about the rear as the car-bra's actually hide it for once.

[LTHLRB]

mean r34: if the design is good, why put it to waste?

[ctjet]

Love it... any for everyone who think it looks like the VE (which likes a combination of a couple of cars) are you even looking with your eyes open??

They look nothing like them... they look like a natural progression from the BA

I like the VE apart from one thing, the arse end sits too high which is one of the ghey things about the R33 i dont like.

Each to their own i spose... but i like it and like with everything when the first pics released are nothing less then CGI graphic renditions never do them justice.

The VE, BA and the new Falcon were all designed by the same people, specifically e-dag in melbourne. They had a few new project heads, but the interior, body and layout were all made there. Holden and Ford don't have a full time ground-up car design team, they outsource most of the CAD work to E-dag, and then they refine or tailor their design. Ford does have a significant staff of CADers, but they generally troubleshoot problems and refine designs and provide options, rather than create a vehicle from the ground up.

So, The Falcon and the commodore are more alike than they are different. Think of them as cousins who have been in a family feud for years.
