I wonder what it would have looked like without his negative styling influences. Seems like the more he got envolved, the worse the styling clinic reactions were.


Definitely some S-Max and Mondeo influences in the front ends of those early E265 clays.
I have always thought that it would have made logical sense for the BA Falcon to have followed the EF/EL Falcon. There are enough stylistic themes for that to have been a logical progression.

Having watched that video, it sort of makes sense owing to the fact they started designing the BA Falcon while the EL was still on sale.
