Unfortunatley I have no interest in the Onion woops Orion, but this may change if it takes some cues off the Euro models. All the Cgi/spy pixs either fake or legit are pointing to this so its a good direction.

Its guaranteed to take cues, to make the line up have a corporate look. God damn I cant wait for it to come out! F6...yum yum!

Ok cool. Its just that the current line up seems a haven for " hang out with my wang out" metality. Hopefully Orion changes that to a corporate, sleek style, but with the cahones to make it playful on the weekends

Not that I am arguing, but IMO FPV covers all bases.

If you want wang out, the the GT does that, and so does the F6 to a lesser degree. Then you have the Force cars (with suspect pricing) if you want sleeper.

The XR8 and XR6T are both pretty subdued IMO. Also the people that buy these cars dont mind a bit of flare.

I know for a fact that the Orion Ghia (or whatever it will be called ) is sex on wheels.

The mondeo is looking better and better, so much better than the last effort and also those we last saw in Australia. Doubt we would see a V8 though.

I doubt they would bring this out in a V8 format. Imagine the repurcussions of the XR8 and FPV sales. Still it doesnt hurt dreaming

It looks ok, I think it looks like it just rolled off the set of Tokyo Drift IV though.......

I think with a revised rear end, and projector headlights, it would look much better.

I hate the back of it, and the headlights need black bezels to make them look sportier.
