As above, don't buy a gay gold with beige interior,as they all smell of wee :)
Also trying to find one,in the very rare silver, fetch a premium. :y

Far better on fuel for starters, it's quicker too (having regularly driven both)

Having only owned facelifts (excluding project cars) - I'd actually go for a pre-facelift MV6 3.0 Saloon if I was to pick again. Cloth seats and a manual gearbox  :y

Manual would be better if I could change things..  Always wanted the 3.2 though

3.2 Manual Ex iPod for me, with Re Map and Free'er Flowing Exhaust, then you can retro fit any MV6 or Elite Interior or toys, LPG etc.  ;)

Second choice Factory spec 3.0 Manual PFL or FL, easier and cheaper to get a few more horses, and far more economical.  :y

MFL Elite 3.2 Auto Saloon, LPG with aftermarket stiffer suspension running MV6 Toffee's which aren't made of Toffee.

OK, nothing come out of the factory like this, and I very much doubt many MFL's are running around with 3.2's in, but... IMO, that's the best Omega to have!

Oh, in BMW Imola Red, if possible, thanks.  :y

Plods are a blank canvas... Can be specced personally and generally have the best engine/box/diff combo...

But now I also own an Elite, full Elite spec with CID, leather and a manual box would be the car of choice :y

3.2 Elite Saloon for me personally.

It would have been nice if the MV6/ELITE 3.2s came with a manual option from new though.

I'm lucky to have a civvy MV6 and an ex plod 3.2, both manual - but all Omegas are so cheap now that you can buy the one with the best bodywork, and then fit whatever toys you fancy.

I'm also lucky that neither of then are in daily use so the fuel bills are manageable...
