Default Factory two door Mk2 Orion anyone

Anyone fancy bringing one of these "beauties" back from South America?



Badged as a VW - but must still count as a Ford; although it just seems wrong when you look at it.

The proportions just look all wrong; - not sure if its just an illusion but it seems to have a seriously short wheelbase. It might be something do do with not having a hatch and being the length of an Escort. IIRC an Orion is about six inches longer than an Escort which might explain this looks so wierd.

Yes I do!

I have seen one of those Mazda festas, couldn't get my head round it at the time.

I have also seen a 4x4 Subaru "Suzuki" Swift. I actually thought for a second or 2 that some poor rude boy had modded his swift to resemble a scooby
