OMEGAS MEETING IN BELO HORIZONTE, BRAZIL
« on: 29 October 2019, 14:25:26 »
Friends,

I really enjoyed the images of your meetings. Below is a video of the Clube do Omega MG (Omega MG Club), the best event we have held here, in the largest environmental conservation area of our city, Parque das Mangabeiras. This event brought together several Chevy (Opel) clubs:

Opala, Caravan, Chevette, Vectra, Astra, Kadett, Tigra, Monza, Corsa, Blazer, Calibra, classic cars like Camaro and Impala, Omegas and Supremas of all models and generations.

Chevrolet Omega, essentially a rebadged Holden VT Commodore, also a VE Omega (looks like a subdued VXR8)  :y

The model with the split grill that resembles the BMWs is the first generation Omega imported from Australia, from 1998, Buick V6 engine with 200 HP. We call the Omegas made in Australia Omega Kangaroos. The Omegas were widely used since launch to transport the country's presidents, politicians and ministers. Unfortunately GM stopped importing them and delivered the market to the competition. The car that currently carries the president and other dignitaries is the Ford Fusion.

:D :D :D :D This model above looks like Ecosport.

Sorry. Ford Fusion here in Brazil are just sedans, like the one in the photo below, of the current generation:

Current official model used to carry the president.

I find these differences from automakers interesting. Mondeo was sold here as imported in the 1990s and the importation lasted approximately 10 years.

Is your Ford Fusion (pictured above) our first generation Ecosport? In the background photo, our first generation Ford Fusion.

The first link is indeed what we would call a Mondeo ;), Mk1/2/3 shown.

Mk1/2 sold in the US as Mercury Contour, Mk3 became their Mk1 Fusion (different bootlid to the Mondeo version).

Mondeo was initially intended as a global car for Ford, hence the name. Closest thing to a global car in the GM range is probably the Astra... Although the Omega A//B was reasonably well represented.

We have only got the latest EcoSport. That one might be related to our Fusion, but it was sold here as a Fiesta derivative... Cheap, roomy 5 door/5 seat runaround with a choice of 1.4 petrol or diesel iirc. Not much to recommend it beyond being a Ford alternative to a cheap Hyundai/Kia.
