Does anybody know why Vauxhall discontinued the omega, I find the omega a superior car to any vectra i have owned, i know they had the signum but wasnt that a glorified vec c? and that didnt stay around for long.

It had been around for the best part of a decade....perhaps it had just become too antiquated by 2004......sadly...
A nice new V8 version ......with about five litres and ........350 BHP...would be nice. :y :y :y

I thought the same in the 80's when I had a 3 litre Senator - it was a lovly car to drive and then they brought out the Miggy and I thought how can they replace this car with one so much smaller - now we have Insignias to look forward to when secondhand prices are affordable

Expensive to make, cost cotting most likey, too much to re-design a car which is on its own in the market.
Can't compete with 5 series, ones it used to fight it out with Rover 800 / Ford Granda all pulled out.
Market moved towards cheaper FWD cars

Hard to believe ........but the full list price of a 3.2 Elite ......was over £30,000......in 2003......Surely nobody actually paid that much for one.
You could have purchased ........a pretty high spec BMW 5 series for that money. ;) ;) ;)

Thats it.
My boss had 5 series at the same time I had my Carlton.
Guess which was roomier and more comfortable?
