Default 2014 Falcon a Mustang?

http://www.motoring.com.au/videos/20...n-teaser-33239

Watch this video from 22 seconds, you have to pause and start a bit at a time, it appears to have the same shape at the front as the Mustang.

As a long time Falcon owner I'd love one that looks similar to the Boss Mustang.

Same as any other parking sensor, be it front or rear.

Still prefer new mondeo/fusion, looks are subjective. And no offense but a 10 year old BA/BF isnt in the same league as the new Fusion in my eyes. But again looks are subjective, what i like and what you like could be very different as we have just found out.

As far as I'm concerned, Ford stuffed the Falcon up with the FG MK2, the front is as ugly as the one above!

It's an after-market 'XR' badge.

Yes, it is the 2014 Fusion, and comments from those who have seen the design drawings for the 2014 Falcon imply it will look very similar.

I don't know if it's just my imagination, but from what I see from the teaser pic the grill looks more Mustang-like:

And if you look right above the grille you can see the Knight Rider Kitt car red lights.

I LOOOOOOVVEEE the looks of the new Mondeo/Fusion. The only thing I find weird with it, is the split front side window, it reminds me of cars from the 60s. It's probably necessary for the design of the front door and it wouldn't be a deal breaker.

I hope it's not just a facsimile of Fusion/Mondeo, the final Falcon model deserves it's own individual identity. Don't know if that car in the video is even the real thing...
