The fact that it is LHD tells you that it isn't a Falcon.

[Chrisosicko]

Could it be the Taurus?

[Wretched]

Is there any evidence that it is a Ford?
I cannot see any logo anywhere and the wheels are not clear.

Ok taken in Campbellfield but it could be any car.

If you can't tell that it's a Ford, what are you doing on this forum?

It reeks of Ford styling.

Well then it should be easily identified then right?
So what is it?

How so? If it's a new as yet unreleased car/car update, well covered up, how on earth should it be easily identified?

being able to tell it's a Ford , and knowing the model are two different things completely.

You said it is a Ford (still haven't proven it) based on it's "styling" (that is also masked heavily in camouflage).

So, how many medium -> large sedans in the Ford range are there?
Taurus or Mondeo?

[Blue_XR]

It's definitely not the new Mondeo just by judging at the side mirror. They should be attached on the door skin not the side window

This rear end photo suggests that it could be mondeo, just with dodgy taillights.

We might get one with the mirror attached to the window.



The Fact that its LHD suggests that its a Ford as they're not gonna test a camouflaged LHD competitors car. As its a new model and how are Ford getting their hands on it. So to me its 1 of 2 things:

1. Overseas Ford getting used for data collection (like a Mondeo because it will be sold here).
2. A south east asia car that is getting tested.

[SS_01]

I would suggest that if its within the ford family, it may indeed be the Lincoln MKZ

[TC200six]

The door skins swear Mondeo, but the fuel filler and wing mirrors are positioned differently. Among few other differences as well.

[SS_01]

Have a look at the plastic in the glass house and look at the Lincolns, no doubt in my mind what it is. New MKZ

[buggo]

I'm not sure mate, you can see that the side glass to the rear is covererd but can see the outline, which looks like that Mondeo above. The MKZ ends were the plastic on the camo model starts, but then there wouldnt be the outline.

Edit: And the rear diffuser/ garnish bit at the bottom is kind of a mix of both cars, so really hard to say for sure

There is also an indent in the boot lid more like the mondeo. Also the number plate is in the spot were it would be with a mondeo.

Also look at the petrol cap, the black pillar and door handles it looks exactly like the new Mondeo. The lights look a bit puffed up like they have different lights over the actual light below it. These lights could even be the new falcon lights they remind me of an FG.

Yea, the lights are very much FG. Which is why I don't think it is the Mondeo.

I can't see any FG resemblance. The lenses to me look blocky, particularly the reverse/blinker lenses which only remind me of the current Taurus rear end. But this has too much of a swept roofline for that IMO.

[Mighty Reds]

Long wheelbase version of mondeo?.

[XR8putts]

It is not the new gen Mondeo/Fusion, and obviously it is not a Falcon.

WTF is it?

[Flat Top]

tail lights are from R and S in germany??

[GTP534]

Wait, ..... it's the 4-door Mustang!! LOL!

In a more serious vein, to me it looks like the Lincoln.

[Kayos]

Only one pic?? just spare me and get it over with!!

Why LHD if it is a falcon, that roofline hhhhmmmm?

[usernametaken]

.......................

[FPV GTHO]

I can kinda see what you mean but I do t think its FG by any means. There's the bit underneath where its a bit drooped down but several Fords have that now, like Territory and Explorer. The top edge though IMO is too straight, and because of that there's no sharp point in the lower left hand corner.

But still some people reckon it's a hatch, the door profiles are completely wrong and it's LHD, so I don't think it's got anything to do with FG/Falcon.

Nope, the camo'd car has totally different doors, something that the FU won't have...and its LHD

Why would ford keep the doors for the FU? I know it's LHD as stated previously, so why is Vic doing R&D on a o/s car that will be built somewhere else or sold on the other side of the world..

FU is not a new car, its an update like what the BA was to the AU.
