fully expect to be slammed for not knowing this, but i honestly have no idea or havent heard anything about what the name of the model after the FG is looking to be called? are they sticking with the "F series" like going from BA-BF... or are they going something completely different?
also, any idea what year this will come into effect? its been a few years since first FG's came in.

We don't know yet. I remember before the BA came out everyone thought it was going to be "AV".

I just don't understand why they need to move away from the F-Series, Commodore has always run with " V ", it's simplicity and easy to follow. |

Or... Maybe they will do what everyone else does now - go by model years (eg: MY15 for any Falcons built in 2014...)

The totally new model in 2015 is anyone's guess, might even start with a totally new letter combo.. FWD has a pretty crap ring to it, let's use that!

Well, FG before very long would run into FJ and so on, I wouldn't think Ford would use a moniker that has already been used by the other team (even if it was 40 years ago)

Found this:
http://motoring.ninemsn.com.au/cars/...ake-xr8s-again “We're currently in the process of evaluating what the next Falcon will be,” Mr Burela said. “We need to make the decision by late-2011, early-2012 of what a new Falcon will be, the size of the engine, the packaging, et cetera.” A replacement for the current FG Falcon is not due until 2016, however Mr Burela isn't worried that the large car market will evaporate before then. |

^ ER continued into WR, 1R, 2R and up until almost the day before its public reveal, the 'BA' was still expected to be called the 'AV' as mentioned above.
Probably FH or FL (if it isn't FGII) will come next year. Some model codes are still used in conjunction with the 'MY' stuff from what I've seen. Ford seems to use a new code for each new Falcon model these days so it wouldn't surprise me if the new model in 2015/2016 has a different letter altogether. Having a 'VE' Valiant didn't stop Holden from using that code.

Can't be F.K, it's censored by Ford Forums and we couldn't discuss the new model.

Here's a thought - the FG name only came about after Ford decided to drop the Fairmont Ghia name (for G-Series) whilst paying respect to them. Do you think that if Ford kept the Fairmont + Ghia names that the FG would be a B-series, thanks to the FG only being an 'extensive facelift' according to Ford. So... will the next Falc be a B-series? |

I think with the Ford jumps in model designations, it will go straight to FR. or FP. After FG II, at the next big model update, where they do a sheet metal update. Ie, ED to EL, AU to BA. And WTF is this "MY05" "MY10" "MY11" crap? I see it all the time on carsales, & its not a Holden designation. I see it on Aston Martin's, BMW's, Chrysler's, Toyota's, & Saabs, you name it they are using it. Are all car manufacturers using the same designation now? every car is now a model designation of MY, followed by its year? or that its "MY" car? It just sounds so stupid, eitherway
