Been reading over at FAF that there is possibly going to be a big news announcement from Ford Australia in a couple of weeks.
July the 11th is being mentioned as a possible date, can anyone here shed some light on this? Could it be some thing to do with the following? * BF2 Cobra? * Orion? * Export deal for the Orion? * New Mondeo details? * BF3? * Stripes? |

Orion would be too early i would have thought, BFII Cobra also too early?
What are the chances of BFIII with Orion upgrades? |

The optimist in me is thinking " There was that yank guy out here in the last few weeks, who's got something to do with product/export viability ".
The pessimist in me is thinking " It's just going to be the same old 'new stripes and different badge' product mentality ". Point in case, Anniversary GT. |

I'm tipping either:
1. Probably FPV Cobra limited edition (White with Blue Stripes etc) OR 2. Ford Australia to announce a third car line to be built in Oz (Focus or perhaps Mondeo ?). |
