    Here we go again.... XR8

    Not sure whether anyone else has noticed this as of yet but when I was looking at the photos of the new Falcon, I noticed something that hasn't been seen on a falcon for a few years now. The famous Boss Bulge, now I know it's been done to death, but could it be returning? And if not, why the bulge?


    Please remove if topic has been covered, couldn't find anything on it.

    I can't see a bulge, its just the artificial light in the CGI's casting a shadow

    There is a bulge now, there is a bulge in the pic which means it'll remain, and the bulge hasn't ever left?? I don't understand we're you're coming from

    I think he's preferring to no xr8 since, well, they dropped it, so no ford badged cars got a bulge.

    I think this might've been a clue had Prodrive still been in the picture but as its all Ford regardless now this to me could be XR8, GS, GT whatever.

    Okay that makes sense. I understand what you mean now ToCo.

    Touch of B-Series in it, in it's squareness and masculinity. I like what I see so far.

    The young designer there couldn't give out much but said the back end had substantial changes.

    True, but surely they would release a Falcon, not a GT or GS?

    I wouldn't say the changes are substantial. Since I've seen the thing in full basically, I'd say there's less AU in the tail lamp design. Yes, I always thought there was still some AU in there which I do not particularly like. To me, this has been addressed.
