Ford FG Falcon USDM CGI
14 May, 2008
28 Comments 
As most of our Ford fans already know, the new Ford FG Falcon is not expected for export to the US Domestic Market, however, what if it was? What would it look like?
Our friends at CGI Automotive thought that exact same thing and came up with the above computer generated image.
According to the designer, the USDM Falcon is a mix of Ford Europe’s kinetic design philosophy and that of a directionless Ford USA.
Would the styling go down well with the Americans?

Why start the useless rumour all over again.
Have you heard that the Morris Minor is going to be built again, with ESP and LHD/RHD? It will be built in Thailand and exported to India, USA, UK, and Australia.

Hey Jeiz, go see a doctor if you throw up that easily. I know it looks bad, but making you throw up is a bit extreme.

You know, there was a time when CarAdvice actually reported automotive news instead of just wanking around…

A lot better looking than any other american sedan.
Realcars I think you must be confused, the Holden LS1 V8’s are the ones with the oil leaks. Its a very rare thing if any Falcon Post-EL has an oil leak.

Missing the stupid, ugly side marker lights that are standard for any US sold model.

On the positive side, if ours looked like this, there’d be no mistaking the new Falcon.

This CGI not a pretty one! i saw the new FG Falcon on the road in Melbourne near a ford dealership - on nepean highway and must say it does look nice! it was silver.
from the front this CGI reminds me a little bit of renault laguna - those silver things on the bonnet really remind me of a renault….

I thought the FG Falcon would need a 3-Bar grill if it went to the US market. However, I think it would need a better Headlight shape to fit in with the 3-Bar grill, this CGI looks a little ugly. Nice xenon bulbs though!

IMO a very pointless thread… anyway i think that the yanks would love the falcon due to a recent trend in large rwd cars(charger, g8) and i agree the 3 grill styling is used in a lot of US ford vehicles so would probally go down well with them

It doesn’t look any worse than that Commodore that they’ve take over their and bastardised. Americans know how to turn nice cars ugly.

Yep truly ugly, similar ugly look they shoved on the Focus.
Of course Ford will have to remove the shockers and replace them with jelly to remove any resemblance to decent handling, then install extra wiiiiiide seats to get the Big Mac arses in.
Come on lets have some real news.

they would also probably column mount the gear change to squeeze in 6 more cupholders

And remember to boost the power steering to stupid levels of assistance (can’t have anyone breaking their little finger whilst trying to steer the thing) and of course, they’ve left off the bridge girders that pass for bumper bars in the US these days. I quite like the “what if” cgi speculation *occasionally*. It gives the creative brain cells some exercise…

AU here we go again !!!!! i hope they shot who ever designed the AU because they will proberly use this as the update of the FG !!

Rob,
The guy that designed the AU also designed the FG, one was too adventurous the other a bit conservative, but both have and will date better than many other designs.

Plain AUs, particularly series 1, are pretty poor in the styling department. XRs much better.
The TS50 and TE50 look fantastic, still look better than many cars today. So you can’t lump all AUs in the same boat.
That’s like saying a Calais-V (or all VEs) look crap because of the Omega.
