TZENU · 28-02-2007, 06:31 PM

GlennBA · 28-02-2007, 06:34 PM

XPfalcon170 · 28-02-2007, 06:35 PM

just checked it out on the wheels website now. doesn't look like an april fools.

Daniel · 28-02-2007, 06:36 PM

Got it in the mail the other day; doesnt really say anything..

Read the artical and nothing is 100% confirmed, its all heresay and this person said that and we think this...

They just WISH they could expose such a cover story like this so early before the launch/release date haha!

Looks like a VE commodore, crossed with a mazda, crossed with a focus, crossed with someones lunch. Very interested to see all angles of the car and more imprtantly, what will the new FPV's look like

b2tf · 28-02-2007, 06:46 PM

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!

CGI's done my Wheels NOT spy pics or anything official from Ford.

The Monty · 28-02-2007, 07:57 PM

If it looks like that, Ill be a happy man.

GXL078 · 28-02-2007, 08:04 PM

Ewwww. It looks too much like a VE

FlipXW · 28-02-2007, 08:05 PM

im not sure weather i like it. The side looks ok, not sure about the headlights and front bar. Also hope that badge is in the wrong position

**DJM83** · 28-02-2007, 08:08 PM

Looks abit like an Audi A4 mixed with a focus front, not to bad but has been saidi think ill keep my ugly AU

rayner22 · 28-02-2007, 08:11 PM

How come the Ford badge isnt centred?? Methinks its just a CGI

Wheels CGI (guess) NOT photos !!!!

FalconXR6 · 28-02-2007, 08:22 PM

Not a fan.

But yeah, need some "in the metal" pics.

Lukeyson · 28-02-2007, 08:37 PM

the back looked very camry-ish in their CGI

funny you say that...YES it is

just incase the clay models is the new falcon

EDIT: lols at my scanning its mirrored :P you get the drift though

Sick EB · 28-02-2007, 08:44 PM

lol with a front bar like that the xr6 turbo will be very happy- massive cooler airflow.

S3SR · 28-02-2007, 08:45 PM

heres the rear end....excuse the scanning (again all photos taken from wheels magazine march edition)

those headlights remind me of those AU XR fairmont style ones FUGLY with a capital FUGLY

XR8putts · 28-02-2007, 08:49 PM

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.

XR6_661 · 28-02-2007, 08:53 PM

Thank god, cos it looks shite

S3SR · 28-02-2007, 09:00 PM

thats great, i didnt see artists impression...though i havent finished reading

just thought people would like to see it

28-02-2007, 09:03 PM

Focus and VE... And yes its ugggllyyyy!

**Fordman1** · 28-02-2007, 09:08 PM

[QUOTE=puts99]Not this again.

Frustrating isn't it mate ?

I keep posting saying it's NOT an official Orion picture, but I'm not getting through.... Doh !!

Are some 'posters' related to my Mother in Law.....Lol ?

BPXR6T · 28-02-2007, 09:12 PM

Bah, big bulbous flares. That's why I hate the the VE, territory, focus, and audi tt for that matter. If those disgusting bulging wheel arches are on the final product then I'll be changing brand.
