Here's Motor's (July 2007) latest chop of the Orion

post-7129-1183024363_thumb.jpg

- Redesigned C Pillar to improve rear access.

- Shorter Bootlid

- Subtle Wheel Arches (more pronouced for XR range)

- Overall Wheelbase increases by 30mm

- Uses Territory's Virtual Pivot-link Front Suspension

- Suspension overalled with monotube dampers

- Base model power upto 200kW at flywheel

- New name tags G6 and G6E (for LPG version)

- Eliminate cross engine plubming from airbox to intercooler

- Push power of T to 260kW, F6 to 300kW and GT to 310kW at the flywheel

- ZF auto to be standard

- Debut at Melbourne Motor Show early 2008 with arrival in showrooms mid 2008

My first impression was looks a bit Suburu Libertish come Mitsubishi 380ish :w00t2: Not exactly my cup of tea this chop.

Read with interest how Ford are already clearing the showrooms of the BF with what looks to me added value at a reduced price (The Age - Drive - 4 July 2007).

XR6T now comes standard with Prem Sound, Climate Control and 18" Wheels at a lower Recommended Retail Price (doesn't say what it is)!!!

Apparently someone found hardcopies of a FPV powerpoint presentation in the rubbish bin up in Brisbane and it had quite detailed pics of the new Orion Falcon without the camo. I believe the pics were in the Brisbane or Gold Coast newspapers last Friday. My mate who was holidaying up that way on the weekend saw them but did not bring the paper back with him thinking it would also be in our newspapers in Melbourne. Can anybody elaborate or put up some pics from the Brisbane/Gold Coast newspapers?
