Could be Orion... More convincing than the spy shots in the other thread anyway.

Kinda unusual. I realise its got lots of covering on the rear round the windows etc so we cant make it out. but the bumps on the bottom half of the doors. what are they?

Probably just to throw out the proportions... Can't tell anything from those pics.

The company number plate tags like on press test cars are a bit of a giveaway. I'd say the spoiler is a BF one. I'd say a good masking job really as the shape almost look BF, hides how much has changed. Top work and good shots SODA

Yep lots of camo around window frames, rear door, and lower sides (as well as covers front & back).

It's too hard to make anything out.

It's definitely a Ford, check the rear spoiler and current XR-style exhaust tip.

Is it just me, or every time one of these spy shots come out (on any car, not just fords) the mags that they use on the cars are just dead sexy!

Check the XT aswell, its got current BF hubcaps, they are both definately Orions.

Not all that impressed with the fact they didnt flare the guards and widden its stance like the VE.

I'm just glad they didn't use flared arches that look as ridiculous as the ones on the VE. Orion is all class.

So you can tell that from the spy shots. The flares look very similar to the VE ones, maybe slightly less, but until they are seen in an overall context its pretty hard to tell. Personally I think the VE flares look good, the problem is more that things like the bumpers don't intergrate into them well, hence it makes them look overdone. If they had used bumpers more like the M5 which extend out into the flares it would have looked very good.

Really ? I think the VE flares look awful, and was dreading that becoming a trend with Aussie cars. Hopefully the Orion is more refined in this area.

Actually that pic is pretty good for comparison. I'll bet the rear lights are pretty similar as well.

Maybe Ford might do the opposite to Holdung and make their flagship car look like their medium car? (Falcon / Mondeo vs Commodore / Epica) Not that that's a bad thing! The Mondeo looks quite nice!
