What i want to kno is how much will the Orion project cost? With Ford US losing heaps of money, its kinda hard to say that it'll be close to holdens 1billion. Rumours tho are saying the Orion is an evolution of the BA/BF, which i dont think is a real good thing, if its a new model, u expect it to be all new.

Orion might be a sheet matel change like the VY was. VY costed around 220 million according to wheels and motor just before it was released. What do they really have to change from the BA mechanical wise? They covered all the mechanical stuff on BA such as the DOHC I6, Control blade
IRS, BOSS V8 ect. All they have to do now is improve it over time. I know they will further improve ride quality, handling, fuel consumption and NVH though.
