Default Orion Section

Is it not nearing an appropriate time to start up a dedicated orion section instead of throwing all orion information into an overblown singlular thread? I can't see the negatives to it or am I missing something here?

That thread should have been titled the orion rumour thread anyway. A lot of what I read when last there was no more than gossip and wishful thinking, so how would that qualify for it's own permanent forum?

You cant have an Orion section when no-one has an Orion car. Untill it goes on sale, then yeh, its just gossip and rumour-milling in the bar & pub.

Thanks Gary, just a heads up that the Ford PR spin is on its way and a section similar to the Barra one on the old site would be helpful, others have really missed my point on here.

These cars have now hit the roads as you can see from the spy pics that were posted here in the Pub last week.
Orion Forum will be established to keep all the information, sightings, pics and rumours together in one Forum, once the Orion is officially released the Forum would be merged into the Contemporary Falcon Forum.

It would be good to have an "Orion only" section, it would clean up the Pub ever so slightly. As others have said, it's only a matter of time before more Orion news, spyshots, and dribble start popping up over the place.

would be good to have a dedicated section to all the different pictures etc instead of mixing them with the rest of the auto talk.
