It's a lot to read but there is some interesting information within it if you have the time.
How do you think they look ? Which is your favorite ?
Falcon XT & GT: The XT is a base budget concious Fairlane with a V6 only and a live rear axle. The GT is in the spirit of the Australian Ford Falcon being the "four door Mustang". The Falcon GT comes with only a V8. To keep the price point down a live rear axle is standard but IRS is optional. AWD is reserved exclusively for the Fairlane Torino.
Fairlane XL & Torino: Sedan and wagon (with a sport roof design a la Dodge Magnum). Fairlane XL is modest luxury with limited content for budget concious families and geisers, includes V6, RWD and IRS. Fairlane Torino is higher equipped luxury touring sedan with higher-output V6, V8 option, RWD, IRS and optional AWD. The Fairlane Police Interceptor is offered with a V6 for light duty urban police units while a V8 model is available for high speed interceptor duty. Both Interceptor models have live rear axles only. The Fairlane has a front end design just like the 427 concept with the same vertical stacked headlamps reminicent of late 60's Fairlanes. The rear features the same taillamps as the 427 concept with dual stacked 3D squares covered with a smooth lens.
Fairlane LTD: Stretched wheelbase Fairlane premium luxury model. Slightly more formal rear greenhouse and quarter panel design, longer rear doors. It also shares fenders with extractors with the Thunderbird. The LTD uses the Fairlane's front end styling but with a fine six-bar grille instead of the three-bar design. The taillamps are unique from the regular Fairlane models. Instead of having stacked squares, the LTD grille's six-bar theme is integrated elegantly behind smooth lenses with high output red LED's in-between. Standard V8, RWD, IRS and optional AWD. Lincoln luxury at a Ford price.. The original LTD formula of Lincoln Type Design.
Thunderbird Coupe and Skyliner: The Thunderbird returns to the formula of a four seat two-door personal luxury sport vehicle. The Thunderbird distiguishes itself from the Fairlane and LTD sedan models featuring unique front and rear styling along with a thick traditional "C" pillars to convey elements of Thunderbird heritage design. The Skyliner feautres a geniune retractable hardtop. The Thunderbird is offered as a V8 only with standard IRS and RWD. AWD is optional.
All Falcon, Fairlane, LTD and Thunderbird models share instrument panel styling meant to convey the original 60's Thunderbird's airplane cockpit designs. The retro look is applied in the same way that was done for the new Mustang. Base Falcons and Police Interceptors get less brightwork and more black/colored keyed trim. Sporty models get the new Mustang's flower pot steering wheel and brushed aluminum instrument panel and interior accents while luxury models get a wood rimmed steering wheel and a combination of wood and bright accents like they are currently being applied to new Ford vehicles.

Holy 300c/Magnum ripoff batman! :o
They look good, but I think they need to differentiate themselves from the 300c and Magnum a bit more.
The new topless Thunderbird looks cool though. Hopefully it won't be as lame as the last version.
