No. Air-bearings will take years to trickle down to passenger vehicles because the benefits outweigh the costs involved, not because it is unproven technology.

I'm surprised I did not see it in the above posts (but maybe I need glasses). But here it is anyway. Looks like Ford will be publicly debuting the new Orion by March 2008 (if not a bit sooner) to coincide with the Motor Show.http://www.ultimatecarpage.com/forum/showthread.php?t=31801 Edited 10/05/07 01:43 PM by EvilDaifu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if there is any correlation with who's leases are coming due later this year / early next year Mine's due in Nov this year Edited 14/05/07 07:41 AM by EvilDaifu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was considering buying a run out GT-P but I think I might wait for the Orion. Cant wait to see the Orion FPV range Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
