I personlaly like it, but what do you all think?

WOW!!!  

[Dazzler]

Looks good, but is not rear wheel drive

[Kevin Wood]

It's from the BMW school of styling by the look of it, which isn't a good thing, IMHO. Maybe it'll grow on me.

Hit the nail on the head. The article in the Sun yesterday (I found it in the canteen ..... Honest ) was already comparing it to a 5 series. How when they don't even share the basic drive layout?

Here's a picture, Looks very bmw'ish

I do like it, but it seems to be a bit of a departure from the current Vx front end family look which I really like. I think that the same car with a more Vectra C look to the front end would be nicer.

This appears at last to be a worthy successor to the Omega; it just looks and sounds superb    Lizzie Zoom

a replacement for the Omega, will have to be RWD.

If/when a new Omega comes out, its still going to have the same problem old ones had, massive depriaction. So only makes sense to buy them 5 years later... so even if a new one came out tommorow. I would not buy until 2013!

If/when i need to replace my Omega, i will be looking towards old shape BMW 5 Series..

Yes it is better to get a RWD car but then this will come with the option of all wheel drive so could be a contender in 5 years.

It's wrong wheel drive

[Kevin Wood]

The problem is, the 4wd options on most modern cars don't hide the fact that it's essentially set up as a front wheel drive car with a few token LbFt of torque sent to the rears. Yes, it might have better traction than a FWD car (i'd hope so with 260 BHP), but it's bound to have a rock hard suspension setup, understeer, etc.

It doesn't look massively removed from the latest Holden Commodore (which I actually prefer and is RWD)
