Looks like a white hatch to me. But, notice how the darker car which could be sedan seems to be obscured behind the gum trees to give you tantalising glimpse (don't need a car bra if the mule is black in the first place!).

I thought so too ... and I didn't notice the black car. However, I have seen cars disguised with extra (false) panels in other spy shots previously.sure they arn't the VE spy shots. that first pic looks a hellovalot like the commadore under that braThe comments on the web page that I linked to said the same thing.

They made 4 DBS' (one written off) and I think just the one Focus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do look pretty authentic and from whats in the picture, the rear (boot) looks similar to the BA's, with slightly different curved boot line and spoiler. I think the XR (Red car - in the first and second picture) looks really good and very different from other current design trends, especailly the rear door and roof. The rear door and roof do hint at some design elements off the Mondeo, with the curved and rounded architecture. I must admit though, it would be nice to see some up close pictures of the front of the car. I think this is just the beginning of spy pics and I think we will be seeing a lot more, as ford begins the crucial stages of testing and locking in the cars fundamental elements.Can't wait!CheersPrim Edited 04/05/07 08:11 AM by prim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was hoping the new Orion would differ from the BA and BFs with dual split exhausts too.Here's hoping what is in the above spy pics is definitely not the final product but a work in progress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
