Carsguide 13/7

[Kenaz]

Hey just wondering if anyone else has seen the pics of the new Orion Falcon in todays Herald Sun Cars guide?

I've got to say I reckon it looks pretty bloody good. I particularly like the rear of it. It already makes the B series cars look a bit out-dated in comparison.

What say the rest of you?

i agree 100%



looks hoT!

[Sunboost]

Looks sex.

Pity about all the rigmorole about this imported V6 motor? There has to be some truth to it as Ford isn't openly denying it. It's too late in to the Orion design to change motors as well, that stuff would've been decided in 2002, not now when it's due for release in just over a year.

Overall, it looks hot but I hope this V6 thing is a massive lie.

defornetly 500 millions bux well spent

shame they couldnt mix up some different set of wheels considering they are they same as whats used on the BF atm...typhoon wheels look h00t

[EFFalcon]

the wheels are just on them for show.
They're not even confirmed photos etc.
they'll change fr sure.

phwe, i thought they were being half assed about that for a second, thank **** for that
they dont look that bad on there thow...

They look mad. I'm not sure if I'm sold on the part beneath the headlights though. The front reminds me of a cross between the new E-Series HSVs and Mondeo. It's all speculation whether these are the real-deal or not anyway.

I don't think the V6 will happen until the model after Orion.

To be honest, im not really sure on it.
It dosnt really look that much of an upgrade from the BA-BF, i suppose they are only cgi's and you wont get the real feel for the car until you see it in the flesh.
The black plastic is a love it or hate it thing.

[EFFalcon]

i reckon it looks more like a Mazda 6 or Honda Accord then anything else.

[Kenaz]

The front reminds me of a cross between the new E-Series HSVs and Mondeo.

I agree and I think that's a good thing. I like both of those cars, particularly the Mondeo

The 2008 Ford lineup is looking quite strong at this stage.

sitting on the edge of my seat for some terry pixs!!!

[stevo]

Ok ive been looking alot at the photos, and ive now swung over to the "effing love it"

[[D1SCNT]]

i dunno i think it will need to grow on me over time...

not a fan of the bare plastick high lights on the front bar but the back doesnt look to bad even if it reminds me of a subaru liberty.

[Commando]

NOT a fan of the doorhandles!

Undecided on the grey-outs between the headlights & foglights.

Love the rest of the CGIs

[Dezza]

They look awesome

[needfordspeed]

The picture of the back reminds me of a VY Clubsport, looks tough though. As for the rest, I don't mind it at all.

[LUXO_8]

the blackouts on the front bar are disgusting...... otherwise, love the car as a whole and hope it looks a LOT like those CGI's

[[RATJET]]

i think they look sweet.... in person i think they will look tough.... with a nice Zorst and dumped they will look wicked

[juzz]

regarding the V6, a mate of mine told me it might be in the first series of the second model (ei BF1 to the BA model)...just a rumour though, and could b old news by now, but the XR8 will have the GT 290 motor, and the XR6T will have the F6 motor...

cheers juzz

[Kenaz]

Thanks for the scoop Juzz!

Who's your source?

[oneredED]

but the XR8 will have the GT 290 motor, and the XR6T will have the F6 motor...

+1

Do not ask for sources please.

Oh, I do have a rumour (and a rumour only ) though that the F6 will top power outputs for the FPV range.
