For those arguing semantics, FG had final approval only given during 2006 as well, as was an early '08 launch.

I'd like to see a seat change with the updated model, with proper rear headrests. And better headrests in the front for that matter. They haven't really changed much if at all since BA.

I would love to see something like the BF. Just the look of them is amazing. The in your face grunt they hold. I'm not a fan of this new day big bulky chunky VE, VF crap. I hope they don't go that way.
That's just me. |

Field reliability tests on prototypes begin about 12 months before release,
FGII based mules will be out now completing prelim work on power train/HVAC. Normally, evolutionary model approval happens approximately two years before delivery, suggesting that 2014 car was signed off about six months ago and that the +2016 car(?) will be ready for sign off around November 2014, shortly after launch of 2014 car. I'm betting that a 2016 Euro 5 Falcon would be a running change on the 2014 car and not unlike what Ford did with FG in 2010 to comply with Euro 4, meaning a low cost extension.

There will be attribute and systems mules out there now...but you won't be able to spot them.

Euro 5 would be a good opportunity for an FH2 you would think.

Ford have confirmed the Falcon up until 2016 a while ago. Um....kind of tells me that we were getting a 2014 Falcon.

Jeez, just going around in circles, in the end does it really matter when funding was confirmed. Making a mountain out of mole hill.

Every car will go through stages in its design process. But I know they have the approval to build the first verification prototypes. So some will be coming down the line this year.

Yeah, have been doing that for 45 years, none of my manuals ever needed a new clutch n synchro's were never required.
I used to drive a side valve Ford V8 tanker with a crash box but I now find the ZF enables me to left foot brake more easily. A RELIABLE DSG would be the best of both worlds though

I'm just hoping Ford give the 2014 Falcon everything it was intended to get, and not start decontenting it to save cash for the shutdown.

I'm hoping we do in fact get a 2014 Falcon. And that Ford don't decide to pull the plug early.
