Title: 5 speed auto
Post by: rpont on 05 August 2008, 14:26:03
Does anyone know when the 5 speed autobox was added to the range?
That's if it was available and I'm not geting really confused.

Not available for the UK market.

I believe they were fitted to the Opel range along with the Electronic folding door mirrors.

I wouldn't hold my breath for a replacement for an Omega. It's cheaper & easier to just use & adapt existing front wheel drive platforms for any future car.

Cup holders? :-/ In all the years I've been driving I have never ever thought .... 'Mmm? I wish I had a holder for this drink'  :-?  :y :y

I personally dont care for the ones I saw for the Catera, as I think they are completly in the wrong place.

I like my add on Air Vent ones, I can keep my Coke chilled in Summer and Coffe Warm in Winter.

I see where yo are coming from on the FWD layout, but surely there must still be a RWD Market out there.

Might be wrong, but from memory, check for the last of the Omegas fitted with the 2.5 diesel from 2003
