Mate on my full pics they are grab handles like the territory/VE.

[Smoke Pursuit]

Its definately an XR, look at the exhaust tip, same as BA/BF.
Roof line looks alot like AU/BA if you take away the foam they put on the rear corners.

That was my first impression LSTerritory, but it is different believe me.

OK. One more question, if you don't mind on the front guard, did you see any sort of vent like the VE, or just the indicator repeater by itself (if there was one there - I'm hoping they'll move the repeaters to the mirrors)

Ask away, looks as though there is a indicator masked up on the front guard but i could be wrong but both cars have something masked over on the front guard, and there is none of those VZ or VE flutes in the guards either.

Right, Now we have between 6 & 12 months worth of watching the pictures develop until the final product is released...... Well Done Soda... They probably have you under watch with 3 private investigators now...

How many magazines did you call????? We should call you Soda Emdur... coz the PRICE IS RIGHT hahahahaha

Cheers mate Soda Embur, I like it! I had a good chuckle about that, only two and neither have called me back so we shall see? As to the private investigators, well I was in my company ute, which i might add is well sign written so who knows. But It is a public road, so stuff em!!

No worries. The reason I ask is because the pics with the white car in it quite clearly show something taped or covered on the front guards. Still not sure whether its just hiding the repeater or whether its a fake flute or vent.

I hope it isnt a vent.

[Paxton]

It definitely looks like a Falcon. The doors look like AU/BA/BF doors (the tacky black strips where the two doors meet), but the roof line looks less swooped than the AU roof line.

I need to see real metal before I can make a final opinion.

Awesome work Soda, well done! Can't wait to see all the pic in hi-res glory : I had a quick play around in photoshop, I won't post it out of respect for soda (plus its terrible anyway :P), but is definately very falcon-ish. But from that pic I don't know if that is the exhaust we are seeing, or a reflection of the demister vents from soda's windscreen! : Either way can't wait to see it in the flesh

Thanks King, I appreciate you not posting the photo shopped pics, so sorry about windscreen vents in the shot!

Thanks for the pic SODA.

Questions. Why do you think it looks so good? I mean, with all the disguise it had, what could you see that made you think it looked good?

Anyway, what I can make out from that shot, it looks more slab slided with the windows being alot more upright than in AU glasshouse. More headroom for the rear passengers at last. The waistline also looks nice and high, it'll give a rake forward look to the stance, similar to VE.
I also like the shape of the dash, and the choice of colours for the instrument cluster is cool.

[SODA]

Nice work. This reminds me of the inital BA spyshots. and the same for the VE.

I wonder when www.newfalcon.com.au will fire up again. its been what 5yrs.

[JPFS1]

well done soda.

As you can see, the artifical panels are plastered all over the car. Roof is artificial as are all the join areas. They are doing a good job of hiding it. The real shape is still well hidden.

[Paul]

Great work Soda, awesome pics.

[SODA]

Well here they are a little earlier than I thought!

Looking at the close of the shot from the top, one thing thats very noticeable, is how far back the rear window goes. By the look of it Orion will have a very short rear end.. Or is that rear window also artificial?

[nommic]

Haha, is there an actual car behind all those fake panels and car bras? :

its does sweep back a little more, but i think you'll find there's a bit of an illusion happening there due all the extra height etc created by all the added panels.

[Gabbs]

Red car looks like an xr variant and the brownie one looks like it may be a fairmont.
Should be seeing heaps more pics now that they are on the road.

I think this is the real deal because i have heard that it does have a shorter rear end that sits up higher (VE style) and also that the door line under the windows swoops up on an angle unlike the straight line on AU to BF

[King Nothing]

No front shots Soda? :P Shoulda given em a run for their money. That way at least you would have got a front photo or a good idea of how they perform! :

*Not that anyone would ever consider exceeding the speed limit, especially in the great, fair state that is Victoria :

[ED Classic]

Dont know if theres room for a high spoiler on GT with that High VE style boot.

[Steve]

This new shape seems to lend itself quite nicely to a coupe. Uh oh, now I'm drooling.
