I wouldn't mind betting that these sightings are on purpose to keep some people out of other brands. I mean this is to early for them to be seen normally. Ford is keen to keep people in a Falcon be it BF or hold out for orion but with such a long time with no hints. I'll bet they were looking at the people taking photos and going YOU IDIOTS think you have caught us but we are doing this on purpose. What better way than to keep peoples hard earned in there pockets until Orions launch, and if they dont want to wait than just buy the BF

I cant believe there are some people who think this camo'd car is how it will look!!

Jeebus...it's covered like that for a reason, we get the basic shape but not the finer details, hence why they have put silly looking plastic bits and covers on the areas they dont want us to recognise and define the shape to

Take a look through the thread mate, you'll see the HSV that was tested in the states was boxed up...CGI beats the pants off zebra stripes...this is the Automotive Industry's response

Let me just say that ... this thread shows you just how well ford and holden have done their cam ... it definatly fools the idiots who refuse to realise that it is just that and that they should read and ask questions so that they may learn. I think that the edited pictures of the "orion" in vic (the white one) is well done and should hopefully give people a great idea. Other wise i am sure we will be surprised on how the ford looks in 08.... hope the base model is better than VE base model lol

Tell me, what on earth (from those photos) makes anyone want to buy one?

The only interest in the spy shots is from enthusiasts from this brand and others wanting to see what it is going to look like.

If anyone thinks that is what it will look like (in camo) they would run a mile LOL. Hang on.... someone already has :

well it is hard to determine the final product if its covered over with fake plasticky bits. frankly these pics are a bit pointless being posted on this forum if there isnt any real idea other than 'it looks like a similar shape to a falcon'. A hand sketch would show more.

I read the title expecting to see GOOD pics of the new falcon. So far ive seen garbage if its not what the title suggests.

You Yangs Proving Ground is to us as Area 51 is to Alien and Conspiracy Buffs.
I love this kind of **** because it's giving us a glimpse of big things to come from Ford...Spy shots of the Next Falcon equate to Papparazi snap shots of Jennifer Anniston Sun Bathing topless in my Books hehe

Well it is hard to determine the final product...thats the point you failed to get before. That's why the fake plasticy bits are on there, so you cant see what it will look like in detail.

What do you want Ford to do, go around australia in completely uncovered cars 12 months out from release just so you can see them, then whinge when it does come out that it's boring as you've seen it before? It's a key exercise for any company not to release shots of a new product for marketing reasons, so it wont look dated before release.

The guy who started this thread is only posting up pics for those who are interested in seeing covered up prototypes, if you think its garbage dont read it.

What makes you think I need calming down? :

I was only reporting on what I read in your posts, which seemed to me (and others) that you didnt realise why the camo was on the car and thought it was the final shape

We can only comment and laugh at people's comments. ... when they comment on an obviously cam'd car as though its the final product all we can do is laugh at the ignorance they have shown.
