What do designers do at Ford?

[ehast13]

I just had a drive of an fg falcon yesterday. As expected they drive really well. Had a good look at xt, g6, g6e and Xr's. I really like the look of all of them but it seemed to me that on the G6's stood apart from the BF2.

If you had one of these in you rear vision mirror, could you tell them apart from the old model without a second glance?

As a big Ford Fan I can pick them apart relatively quickly but my wife can't.

I know the fg is a better drive than the VE and Aurion but if people always bought the best car they could for the money then why were any VY/VZ six cylinders ever sold?

I hope potential buyers can see past the same'ol same'ol looks on the xt's and xr's.

I reckon a new bumper design would neaten up the xt front and make it more appealing. They should remove the crease that starts above the number plate and down the sides of the air intake. Perhaps they could produce a bettter blank for the 'foglight holes' or brake ducts (perhaps an inverted conical insert so they actually look like brake ducts) in the bumper. A full chrome outline on the grill. Perhaps square up the air intake. I know it wont have the kinetic design or whatever design they call it, but it would look different to the BF2 and still be separate to the G6's.
