got it in my mail and just like every other supposed spy pic you have to take it with a grain of salt. looking back over some older issues you can see what they thought was going to be in BA and while they were close, honestly I think the only people who really have any idea what it looks like are those who are working on it i.e. Ford.

And to be honest, if it looks like that I'll keep my ugly AU a bit longer!

Not this again.




This has been discussed in-depth in the Orion Knowledge Hub thread.

THIS IS NOT THE NEW FALCON. This is a Computer Generated Image. A photoshop in other words. Created by using a BF image as a base to work from.

This is what Wheels think it will look like. These are not Ford images.

Those are NOT clay models. Those are the same CGIs with the "clay" filter applied in Photoshop.

Wheels did the same for BA and were way off. It's essentially an enducated guess. I will buy the magazine because it's interesting. These images/claims sell magazines, and that is what is important to the media. Read the articles below the pictures and they'll admit to it being an artists impression.

People have seen it, if you try the other orion thread or do a simple search. It may or may not mention it's an artists impression - but i assure you it is.

Happy reading.
