yeah i agree!
the more i see of it the more i like it!

the front end especially, this view looks very good


im not sold on the rear end just yet

but i do look how they have changed the rear wheel arch, so it doesnt include the door as part of the arch. like in previous models:

Would like to see the Orion interior.... It seems that Ford and Holden have only really gotten into the current euro style interiors since the BA/VY.. I really like the euro styling for interiors... looks much more modern....

Its too much like every other car, what with having wheels and a roof and all.

The rear wheel arch is the same with my car as far back as the VN. You spot it more with the newer models then the older ones, It's not to flash

Thats funny!
I read other forums and when Holden fans talk about Ford its mostly constructive or at the least light hearted. However when Ford fans talk about Holden there is much bitterness and resentful comments? Just something that seems to stand out. Everyone is entitled to their opinion but its a pity people dont take a step back and realise if it were not for one, the other wouldnt be half as good as it is now. So thanks Holden/HSV for making some great product as we would not have FPV if you didnt!

I'm sure it will look different, but with the shots we have at the moment that is what it looks like, the other is the older IS 200 Lexus.

Just who's wife are we talking about now with no bra on ?? :P
