Found this whilst browsing.  A mildly interesting comparison, but an ugly as sin car though.

Just read that report about the Scorpio v Omega, Ive delivered to all 3 of them places  to name just a few. I do like the old Granada/Scorpio i must admit, ive had a few of them, 2.5s, 3,0, but i love the old Omega, cant wait to put it back on the road, Im suffering driving the old Peugeot 405 diesel at the moment, Great MPG but ive been more comfortable laying on a bed of nails, Ok thats not true. Walking over hot coals, Thats more like it.  ;D ;D ;D

I can't say I've ever liked the look of the scorpio. I always think of 'wide-mouthed frog' whenever I see them.  ;D

In addition, although they say performance is the same (2.6 Omega V 2.9 Scorpio), the reviewer keeps mentioning the 50 - 70 of the Scorpio, yet barely mentions the larger engine capacity.  I think the reviewer needs to try a 3.0 ;)

Yes, the reviewer deliberately picked the 2.5 as it didn't quite match the larger displacement (and much less efficient!) 24v Scorpio...

Against the 3.0 Elite it is just embarassing!  ;D

I drove a 2.9 24v Scorpio last night, while my friend drove my 3.0 Elite.
Nice seats, and I got a pleasant view of my car disappearing into the distance!  ;D

I felt that the reviewer was trying hard to keep liking his Scorpio even though the Omega is clearly the better car.  Especially in 3.0 form.
