Posts on the FordForums site were less receptive of the VE’s European look, ToxicXR noting "a little too much European flair. It’s beginning to look like a Mazda 6 or a Honda Accord".

Very poor writing for the journo's. Looks like a year 6 student telling a story. They must have had a slow day.

As said above, not very well written. Good read though regardless.

It is good to see others read and take note of the conversations here, hopefully the right people will see and grant some of our wish lists for the Orion.
