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.
