I never saw any AU series 2 badges, just the series 3 badges.

Re: New Falcon Details?

New headlights? How can they possibly improve on the awesome BA XR lights?

Re: New Falcon Details?

I can't see Grilles and lights being changed. I think some wheels could be changed, equipment will be increased , and there will be a slight tickle on some of the engines and possibly some new boxes either manual, auto or both. I cant see them not answering VZ's HFV6 and 5 auto for the whole 18 months of BA2's life.

Parking sensors would have to be close to being std on GTP.

18's and side airbags for XR8 to catch up to what SS already has and increase XR8's appeal over XR6 T.

GTP's clock on GT should be a reasonable ask. After all you can get it on your XR now.

Of course this is all my prediction!!

Was thinking the same thing, however the other non XR performance models could do with some more variety.

Maybe they have seen it and know something we don't. Only some will actually care about the new mechanicals. The success of the current VY V6 models have proven that.

Re: New Falcon Details?

Or the Fairmont will be dropped.

It's bollocks - looks like crap and who buys it? If you look at the fleet prices, a company is either going to pick a futura or Ghia. The Berlina is justy the same - at least they surviving on the V8wagons.
