If I squint a little I can almost see a bit of Mustang in the front end. Where did you find it? Is it a car magazine interpretation?

I think Ford is planning to release the look of the new Falcon well ahead of the scheduled release, but not this far ahead.

I have squinted, and would have to say I agree. But isn't that the way with most of the new Fords? Mondeo, Focus and Taurus spring to mind, especially when presented in the "Corporate" colour scheme

I still don't like the back-end - too AU-like. I don't like it on the Mercedes either...

[Downoz]

I found the photo on the net in a search, but I have no idea when or where the next falcon is to be released. Next Mondeo looks similar, as I say I have no idea.

[Marcos WTF]

Thank **** I wasn't wearing my reading glasses. That way I was spared the full horror.

The front end looks too "flat" like its been run into a wall. The mustang has the same problem.

Too many 'holes' in the front- grille, the real air intake, lame fake brake ducts, fog lights............

Next Mondeo front end looks to be pinched directly from Aston Martin! Not that that's a bad thing, unless you own an Aston Martin...

Looks like the image is just someone's crystal balling; check the posts on 22nd and 27th of October: http://digikustoms.blogspot.com.au/

The new Taurus will be the Mondeo so my money is on the Falcon being the same..

[Juarez Jed]

The 'current' Fusion is the 'new' Mondeo, not the Taurus

arent the mondeo's FWD?

FWD or not, they're a very nice car to drive.

Could possibly be better than the current model Passats that I've spent so much time in.

[Trevor]

I think it looks great

[Denosaur]

Photoshop alright, and would give it some consideration if it drove alright.

Interesting thou, the background is looking south on the left hands side of the road, wrong way, around turn's 12/13 at Albert Park. Street lights, traffic lights, the fencing you can see on the right, plus that dodgy looking brown on the hotel on the left.....

Mind you they drive great but suffer from the same problem as the Focus - reverse Tardis problem.

They are outwardly normal size cars but somehow the interior is such that you have no room to store anything!

I can't figure it out - I own a Golf and a Focus, which are outwardly similar, but the Golf has plentiful interior storage but the Focus has not enough room for wallet + phone, and can't even take a can of coke in the cup holder!

That was something I never noticed with the Mondeo, to be honest. But yeah, Volkswagen never seems to waste any space.
