They were gone when I went back to get the writing off the windscreen, I'll check later. There is a VERY nice bar at the pub where they are parked. Might have to have a hairy dog.

Not a stretch...these Could possibly be the very first Orion shots...who knows. The Grill suits the Iosis theme.







And stop being a bunch of Drama queens...we could be way off but on the other side... this could be a car that is very heavily aesthetically changed (not just the striping) to really throw people off.

If it is I'm not driving the BA again, I figure it will be worth a heap in a few years.

I'll try and get some more shots of it to-night. I am pretty sure that it is not a ford. But those stripes really throw you off the real shape of the car.

Get and internal shot, maybe the steering wheel has a logo on it, or even the tyres (brand, rating and size), we know what tyres the Orion has so could eliminate it easily

Ford won't be doing hot weather testing for a while. You won't see them outside of the proving ground. And when they do hit the roads you can be sure as hell they will be covered front and back with odd bits and pieces stuck to all the edges to totally disguise the shape. If anyone saw the Billion Dollar Baby show that Holden put out with the VE's hot weather testing and the cars were covered with black covers built up a few inches above the pillars, roof and boot to totally hide the shape then you will get the idea of what Ford will be doing.

Yeah - could someone in the know just chime in with a simple "yae" or "nae" to clear it up. Good work though OutbackJack.

But goddamn that is one ugly mofo. It needs to be killed. With fire.

It is left hand drive, so NOT new Falcon. Its also only medium sized, look at the rear view mirror in proportion to the car size.

Keep looking OBJ thats 2 other brands you have sprung.

Thought this car looked familiar, remember looking at a similar dash photo this week. Well here it is, the new ssyang yong chairman.

The falcon should be there sooner or later, keep up the good work.

Good call. Although comparing the padding/disguising they use in Europe to here we must be a sneakier lot. The padding there is barely enough to cover stone chips and does little to change the shape.

I call for a name change from "Outbackjack" to Outbackinformer.
