Interesting. if the iosis had a full falcon scale rear end and not that ugly suv-whatever it really has then it would look alright. but the BF has a better looking front than that already, maybe its just because its so old and is everywhere you go now as soon as something new pops up it has this effect where traditionalists are repulsed and open minded people would sell their soul for one. personally Im of the frame of mind that this is a iosis and not a falcon so I wouldnt want it to crop up with a falcon badge through principle. But im not worried because this isnt the new falcon. maybe close, but as if it will be that diff from the commodore. Actually its alot cooler than the VE come to think of it, but so is an EA.

A bit of a problem with that. It was beside the GT when both drivers noticed the guy with the camera so they stomped it to get away.

The F6 is out of frame about 100m ahead..........

I reckon that looks pretty good if it is like that. Guys, he didnt say that was an official photo of the car, he said it looks pretty close to that.
If they can make it look that tough, all Ford needs to do is put some more grunt under the bonnet and take on the HSV's
