I have to say and I know I'm a Ford fan, however the BA launch was just so much better received. Sure it pi**ed off the traditional media, as it bypassed them somewhat by using the internet to great effect. However the VE is copping some negative press, mostly for not letting out economy and weight figures, I just jead on LS1 that someone has read the sticker on an Omega parked in Elisabeth SA, and it says 11.0L/100Km. When VE design began fuel wasn't as huge an issue as it is today. Hopefully Orion, with it's later release date has some opporunity to look at this issue with even more effort. Sometimes being last to market can be a good thing, helped of course by having a current product that is considered the class leader. Those first mag comparo's will be very interesting.
