I'm not sure how long this has been the case, but I just went to that link on my iPhone, from the TMS app, and apparently Ford has made mobile versions of its B&P sites! That's really cool! No more flash!

Is this an all-new Falcon?? Is it too much to hope it'll use the '15 Mustang underpinnings? Having said that, the current Falcon isn't lacking in the competency stakes, but it'd be good in terms of economies of scale.
There are too many rumour Ford may pull out of Australian manufacturing, which would be a great shame

Please, let this be true. And then offer it here to counter the Charger/300C duo. Lincoln could also use it for a proper RWD sport sedan.

Fusion is almost as large as current Taurus......and the latter will grow on an extended Fusion platform too.
However, how good would it be to see Mustang/Falcon/Lincoln saloon (and possibly coupe) spun off the new S550 platform.
I just wish Ford had never given up on GRWD, as we'd probably already be seeing the fruits of that development now.
Here's hoping the above comes true!

Remember that Fusion(Mondeo) and Taurus would both be in Australia as well, and that's a much much smaller market. Ford's not so scared of price overlap these days, and it's always possible they could pull a "Chevy SS" and launch the Falcon here as a premium/performance-only vehicle.
On the Linc side, there's been some talk that the next MKS will be long-wheelbase only, opening up a space between MKZ and MKS to fit a RWD Linc sedan.

I should point out that the 2014 vehicle teased at the show may "just" be a heavy refresh of the current Falcon platform, which could be exported with enough changes, until the bigger lineup changes occur further down the road. Remains to be seen.
