Having driven both and looking at the figures no omega will match a 3.0 sport  :-/
I can vouch that a 4wd 3.0 matched my MV6, but had superior cornering ability in a fast sweeper in the wet - mine went all twitchy on this very fast bend, he went round on rails and left me for dust until he hit traffic...

Aye sound about right - but he would have his stereo on to drown the rattly dash out.

I do own an X Type but also still a facelift CDX omega and theres good and bad points in both.

Omega thrashes it in interior build quality and toys.....

I think Tata will be better owners than Ford, at least the Indians understand the British.

John really wants an XF but they are too much at the moment, he was hoping the 3.0 would last long enough for the prices to fall
