Orion Ute Spy Pics

[YPURV4]

Its defently not a BF look at the tail lights there a different shape, you can just make the shape out through the black cover also it look like the intercooler dosnt come back over the top but exits out to the right, which means less pipe work.

And it looks like the bonnet has some sort of air vents towards the front?

One change I have noticed from those pictures are the door handles.

Its only a small thing but Falcons to date have had streamlined door with the handles recessed into the doors and ive always like that look and cant say I like the ones on the new car much.

Yeah true that.

there was talk on FF that there was going to be a top mount cooler. Obviously this isnt the case

I expect not much will be changing as the current shape works and Ford are poor, so they will not be spending megadollars on retooling the whole place.

I bet the chassis and floorpan are very similar to the BF. We will only see some restyling.

I am sure we will not see as drastic a change as the VE

Every panel is new. They are spending 800 million for it, on par with VE considering they spent 190 million on the Statesman, that makes it about even.

hey guys , dnt know if this is the right place but neway here goes. jus curious when is the new model ford ute ment to come out in 2008? will it be the same time as the sedan or a few months later, as im trying to decide weather to get a bf ute or wait for the new model ute

Same time as sedan.

it looks OK I reckon, not alot of changes, it will mainly be small things like wheels,lights,indicators and mirrors that are different.

the utes still using the AU shell by those pics and I doubt they'd change it anyways cuz its not a "billion dollar baby" development"

I dont mind if its only minor cosmetical differences, I thinmk they look good currently!

Every panel is new. Development costs rumoured to be $800 million dollars, which considering Ford didn't spend $190 million on a LWB model makes it lineball with VE's $billion.
