What a nightmare, crappest car I have ever seen......!!!

35 euro too.....that aint cheap......!!!

 :y :y
'tis for day hire in a holiday resort ;)


yeah, 35 was the cheapest i found. for 60 i could have got a jimny. wish id have done that! lol
They ain't all that either, esp thrashed hire ones. More powerful though ;D


plus also it sounds great to have the ''buttoned on'' roof down but you get stuck in traffic in 40 degree heat youre going to want the aircon on.

ps TB, i know you locked the thread for that guy possibly trying to sell his mig but i just wanted to say if you need a valuation the whatcar site seems pretty spot on for vals....

Nothing will value an Omega now, as they are in that 'bargain banger' territory, where one car is woth £100 more to a buyer because its 50m closer...  ...and rust levels can make the difference between paying asking price or walking away at any price

Probably didn't fit in with GM's strategy, and they had to cut costs.  The Signum, although not a replacement, was a similar sized car, and was a new design (based on the awful Vectra-C chassis)

none i think.
i think it was called omega for a reason it means "last of, end of, last of series" so i think it was last of the rear wheel drives, didnt it fit in between the senator and carlton size wise?  maybe thy were already thinking long term it wasnt going to be a runner.

Zero in the foreseeable future.

Like it or lump it, the future is likely to be electric based. That means small cars.

It ran for 10 years. I'm sure when they released it, they had visions of a replacement.

However in that time, they failed to win any reconition of the brand, and BMW/Merc/Audi/VAG won the battle of the luxury exec saloons. Also GM's finanicial troubles got even worse.


It was called the Omega-B, BTW, as part of the trait to merge the Vx and Opel models, as it was the replacement for the previous Omega-A (Carlton in UK).  The Senator was replaced with the Elite - note, on launch, the Elite was not called an Omega.
