I don't think this has been mentioned before.
Was having a conversation with a friend of mine and it hit me. I don’t think the next Falcon (after the current BF2) will be Orion.

I think Ford Australia will **** a lot of their fans off with a BF Series 3.

Let’s look at the facts:

1) The BF2 has new headlights, bonnet and front bumper. This is a series 2 update. They didn’t even do anything this drastic with BA to BF. Infact neither Ford nor Holden have never updated a car like this for a series 2 update in recent history.
2) Ford has done the Series 3 before. The AU (series 3) just wouldn’t die when the BA couldn’t come soon enough. The last Series 3 Falcon was only 4 years ago.
3) We have not seen a single Orion sketch or mule, let alone a spy shot.
4) With the BF2 released (well I consider it released) then do you think Ford will drag it on until 2008 when the Orion is set to debut? (According to numerous magazines and general consensus) that is one long run – Has Holden or Ford ever done that before?
5) The last all new Commodore was 8 phases: VT, VT2, VX, VX2, VY, VY2, VZ and VZ2. Including the latest BF2 we are only at 7 phases: AU, AU2, AU3, BA, BA2, BF, and BF2. To square up to Commodore and follow a logical trend, there would have to be a BF3.

So unfortunately I believe there will be a BF Series 3. At a time when Orion could not come soon enough. I hope I am wrong. :

What do you guys and girls reckon? :
