Yeah, there was an old European Ford called the Orion. I doubt it had anything to do with the next Falcon though.
Just like apparently there was an American concept car a couple of years ago called the Ford Falcon or Fairmont or something (I can't remember the details). But yeah, I think some names circulate around inside companies for some reason. |
