2008 Falcon Revealed

[Pax-Ottomanica]

Key changes on the new Orion Falcon;

- Standard/Base model XT Falcon 200kw

- Standard/base model XT Falcon with a German built 6-speed ZF Auto tranny

- Improvements & changes on both front & rear suspension setup

- Audi like interior, design and quality wise

- Xenon headlights for XR & FPV models

The cars design is said to be inspired from Ford Iosis (a concept model) which later on was carried on to the new European 2008 Mondeo, overall a larger version.

These are CGI images, they are not real, the end result could come out some what fairly different but should give an idea of how the next Falcon which is due to be released by April next year should look-alike.

Personally I like them and would definitely buy a F6 Thyphoon varient, if i was looking into purchasing a new car. Been reading some posts on various forums on the Orion, some predict the Falcon 6 to have Direct Injection?

From THIS...

AND THIS..... 2008 FORD MONDEO

OUT CAME THIS....

HOWEVER... THESE ARE THE REAL SPY IMAGES TAKEN DURING TEST RUNS.

The CGI photos do look shocking but look at the real thing.. it does seem promising, should be better in the flesh, I have no doubt it will look more modern than that fat, over sized VE.

Apparently the Orion has gone through a extensive weigh sheding program... It's most likely to weigh less than a VE.

Doesn't look to bad there... they need to differentiate the 'performance' models from the base models, more than just a few stick on body kit bits....

[brent32]

could be worse anyone remember the AU falcon

[Anarkei]

i hate fords as a rule. but i have to admit, at least this one looks reasonably ok.

[R33silverS2]

could be worse anyone remember the AU falcon

The au was and still is one of the most hiddeous cars ever produced. The car looked retarded and looked like it was crying and melting. Droppy headlamps and taillights and that round spherical shape omg - such a terribel looking vehicle.

[JVP]

i reckon anything from Ssangyong (spelling) have to be the ugliest cars ever produced.

but fords are a close second (except the FPV models)

[LTHLRB]

now i haveto work on those pieces of shit?

[inark]

Love it... any for everyone who think it looks like the VE (which likes a combination of a couple of cars) are you even looking with your eyes open??

They look nothing like them... they look like a natural progression from the BA

I like the VE apart from one thing, the arse end sits too high which is one of the ghey things about the R33 i dont like.

Each to their own i spose... but i like it and like with everything when the first pics released are nothing less then CGI graphic renditions never do them justice.

[Ronin 09]

I'm getting one.

[eMsta]

Talk about trying to copy the HSV cars. Ford suck

that was exactly what i was thinking.....

no wonder why they have to sack workers.....

[inark]

u guys are all retarded... so basically your saying this looks like a VE which means the VE was a copy of the BA because these new fords look the same as the BA?

LOL

no wonder most of u drive 33s
