We dont, or at least we in omegas dont. Others, such as Saab which is Bloody annoying as its Gm owned, do, from what i gather. This was presumably written before that model Omega was released. So i guess they intended to subscribe to it, but then didnt bother in the end.

During 2000, an aluminium 300PS 450 Nm torque V8 engine will be added to the top end of the model range in left hand drive markets in Europe.

Shame that didn't happen...

Essentially because consumers moved away from large saloons to MPV's

Hi,

I see that they mention a 10 year anti-perforation warranty, I take it this didn't happen either ::)

Cheers,
Iain

Shame indeed, only ever intended for ze Germanz in left hand drive from what it says, i wonder if they ever got it? I saw it listed somewhere and thought it was an error.
What model did irmsher use for the race car in the pics on their site?
