interesting nontheless

Maybe

Very interesting...could be scoops..my heart wants them to be...my head tells me its just the tabs of a car bra sittling up a little off the bonnet

[FPVWEPN]

The bottom of the window line and the bottom of the windscreen dont flow very well at all this car looks pretty poxy THUS FAR............

[#Russ#Es#]

Pretty funny reading through this thread and reading people's disappointment on a car most have not seen in the flesh and without more padding than a 16 year old in a nightclub

[Road_Warrior]

Tell you one thing that DOES look poxy....those mirrors..

Oh you mean those mirrors that are wrapped up in gaff tape and fabric? yeah... they look god-awful :

[Pearly]

I hope those are not vents. They look gay, specially in that location.

In those pictures, specially with all that padding, the car looks very much like a VY.

I also reckon vents would be nice. But im with u, if they are vents on the front of that car, they are way to close together and way to far towards the front of the bonnet.

Maybe Ford might do the opposite to Holdung and make their flagship car look like their medium car? (Falcon / Mondeo vs Commodore / Epica) Not that that's a bad thing! The Mondeo looks quite nice!

[Fordman1]

Yeah those highly camo'd cars taken from over a hundred metre's away without a telescopic lense in those poor definition pic's look POXY !!

could be the new model lada......heard they're doing a comeback!!

[anto]

at this stage I thik the car is looking not too bad at all, hopefully it gets better and better as the masking starts to come off. Im optimistic

[sleekism]

As long as the new Falcon does have those ugly side flutes im happy.

I will admit that the ss and sv6 look good but we just got some base model ve commos at work and they r the ugliest thing i have ever seen.

They look goofy with hubcabs, strange side flutes and chunks all over them.

The VE Commodore has to be the ugliest fleet car ever and everyone at work avoids them in droves, not to mention is it me or has a Dunnydoor not felt this slow since the Ecotec days.

Anywayz they are turning over the fleet at work so I wonder what they will get.....(im guna miss the bosses xr6 turbo) the accountants manage the fleet so hopefully we r not stuck with more gay looking base model VE's.

my demask attempt (XR6T)


Chances are the XRT will look different from the XR6 in some way, to give it more identity


(lol, i forgot the doors...lets hope ford dont )

[Aeron]

Man, the rear end of the thing looks short. Great to see some pics too!!

That is a very good guess of what the xr's will look like! Personally i like the look of what i've seen of the orion so far.

[Jayden]

It looks very close to the BF still, this would be the first time Ford hasn't radically altered the Falcon for a new series, since well the XW. Maybe they are too haunted by the AU. Not that im complaining, if they improove the BF GT then OMG!

That pic makes it look like the previous model Vectra, except with XR headlights.

[Road_Warrior]

Is this close to what the front lights and grille look like?

Yes i think we should all wait a little while before making judgement

[Ando_Leigh]

i keep thinking it looks like the vy.

but i do really like the side profile roof line looks much better

There's a reason the lights from BA to BF were slightly reshaped like they were. And based on your outline, you can see why.

[sfr rob]

yeah, I am with ya death, I reckon the current BFmkII will resemble it a hell of a lot.
Could you imagine the cost involved in making the tools for the new headlights etc just for the bf II, I am sure they will carry some aspects over so it wasnt just a huge waste of money.

[xf_vanner]

i hate to say it but on first impressions it looks like holden.

[blueoval]

the bulges on the rear windscreen are ugly as sin.

the side skirts or what ever they are disgusting too.

[Smoke Pursuit]

They are there to hide how the car actually looks.

which? the bulges or the skirts?

[King Nothing]

Probably both. You can see very obvious seams in the road pics of the red orion taken earlier.
