spotted the new escort today at around 7:10am on the ring road. I can see a lot of the new falcon in it! (girlfriend took photos while I drove).

Pretty funny it's still in camo considering they've done that full reveal with the turntable and everything a few weeks back.

I would've thought they'd get away with it better if it just blended in!

The car actually looked really appealing in the flesh. Are they getting released in australia?

If you read back on some of the previous pages it has been mentioned that the new falcon will inherit escort design. Rear lights are said to be similar etc... have a look back through the thread!

Are you talking about a Falcon or an Escort?

Ah so solly glasshopper, I can't see the photo if it is hosted on Photobucket because of the work firewall, the Escort being a China-market car will have to be LHD.

Which 110 page thread were you looking at then? This one has heaps of photos.

No I believe it's designed for the Chinese market only. We'll continue getting the Euro/NA model.

This is what SpyMan said after he had shown the pic of the Falcon's interior:

"Hey,
Just be on here tomorrow night you'll prob be shocked as I was when I was shown gamma2 FH interior

Xr8 will not get the push start that this car I was shown with the new nose had.and it had the GS in the headlights where as the xr's will have that xr8 (6) and was told the base Len will have a ford badge.

The local boys were givin the hard task with all this (shut down)

If you love the current fpv car and you've put your money on the last one you'll be happy"

A bloke who works at Ford that I know who has seen it says it has a new interior.

And that's what I said, it'll have a new interior. The dash etc will have a new look, to give the car the 'New' look from both the inside and outside. Ford CONFIRMED that this 2014 model will be a PROPER new model, not an ALSO RAN. By it being a new model it will have the new exterior as well as the new interior.

I believe one of the only changes to the dash was the addition of the Parking Sensors button to replace the Traction control button. The look will be the same as the FG.
