oh no big man i found that very offensive cause you think i look like you

yeh but my 13 year old japanese CAP looks and performs 10x better than your 2008 "refined" (cant stop laughing at that) falcon, thats hang on wait for it... built/desinged by a bunch of diploma engineers that rock up to work half pissed

but what would i know right...

What a f**ken riot !!!

I bet she is billy hairy all over her chest.

Can anyone say, VE door handles? Looks like ford went to Holden and brought them.

Ford Australia wanted to implement the falcon into the Ford global architecture so certain pattern cues were carried over from European Ford DNA , what they call it the " kinetic " design.

So the door handles are in fact the ones like on the Mondeo and not the VE.

Ahh finally the "Fairmont" turbo. I heard about these some time ago during a meeting with the state bosses here

From what i have been told the calder test days for the F6 have gone great, going to be much better around the track than the current ones

The model range looks great, finally a dash that doesn't look like its come from a cheap korean taxi

[mad082]

Orian....Aurion. You cant get 0-100km/h and 0-400m times out of power and torque figures. Look at the current GT, has 290kw and only does mid 14's if that.

actually in one of motor magazines tests they got the gt to do a high 13.

This one may be the pick of the range. Traditionally the Fairmont was the car for pensioners. But with a turbo motor Ford won't be able to go too soft. So you get the best motor they make in a reasonably well specced car without all the boy racer bullsh!t. Nice. Hope they price it well.

[mad082]

yeah it is good to see ford stepping into the luxury performance market. holden had a supercharged v6 in their statesmant, so now ford has joined the forced induction luxury car market.

[djr81]

Yeah well there are a few people out there who want both performance & some home comforts inside their cars.

[Whiplash]

well they tried with the Force 6 and Force 8 but they have been pretty big flop

[evil_weevil]

New XR6T looks like it'll get family car duties for me when me and the mrs settle down!

Sounds like a great car/package and looks pretty good, I think in the flesh would look better!

assyrian4evaa - you sir, need to open your eyes. You are as bad as the one minded bogans who bag out jap cars.

You obviously are not a car enthusiast.

[Whiplash]

yeah 275Kw standard family car FTW

[funkymonkey]

why on earth haven't both ford and holden brought out a turbo diesel in their ranges. are they that oblivious to world trends?

[mad082]

well ford has it in the mondeo and focus, and holden has it in their smaller cars. give it a few years and they will get them.

[djr81]

You reckon? I can't really see a market for a diesel Falcon. Territory yes, but not so much the Foulcan. Maybe if they continue to be similar it will be easy to bung an oiler in both.

[mad082]

well i guess you can get them on LPG from factory so that is their answer for that for now. and they are making them run leaner to get better economy, which is also why the power is increasing. i think it will all depend on what happens with the price of fuel in the future, and with ethanol.

u dont understand i am very open minded when it comes to cars atleast so dont just judge me from those few comments maybe if you heard about them as much as i have you'd be over them by now..

i like aussie cars and own 1myself but they just dont do it for me as much. i hope they sell really well because it keeps jobs around but we'll see how they go

I'm not so sure about the exterior, but the interior looks like a nice design. And the G6E looks like it might be the pick of the bunch; performance AND comfort/luxury.

Saw 2 Orians on the road the other day, no camoflauge...wasn't expecting it, but can't mistake those headlights

[mad082]

just looked at the spelling of the thread title. it's actually orion (like the constellation), not orian.

[dezz]

Spotted another 1 on the way to work today...XR model with camo bras front and rear...

Why the hell did they call it Orion...way too similar to the Toyota Aurion in my opinion...
