Omega 'V8.com'
« on: 18 November 2009, 16:43:34 »

All photo's were given to me on a CD by my local Vauxhall dealer.
Here's a few of the V8 Omega that never was, only exterior difference I could notice is the headlights extend right down to the bumper, with no trim underneath them.

Trim is under on the bottom one isn't it, looks horrible without it. How nice is that inside though and the engine :o

Interesting post-cheers  :y

Not too keen on the larger headlights, though!

I have seen this before and I love it!! 8-) 8-)

Only one fault would be the rear tunnel section being covered by a storage unit; very difficult for any third passenger on the back seat!! :( :(

I do like the two seat arrangement in the back and the extended centre console.

IIRC, the headlights were Holden Commodore units.
I know a guy in the old VXSCC bought a pair for his Omega some time ago and discovered the Holden light units were quite a bit bigger than the Omega units.

I have seen similar Vauxhall Signum designs for the rear seats!

Exactly!!  That is what devalues the design; who would want to buy a four seater car at this level when the rest of the range comes with five seats?? :-/ :-/ :-/ :-/

Wrong, that are Opel-Units, and quite special ones, it was Opel's first attempt of Adaptive-Headlights, I saw this on TV a few years ago.

And so does it work, that in the Red box:

..is a electric movable mirror which bend the light of the lamp into the corners, sadly that version of an adaptive headlamp was forbidden, because it streams the light directly into the upcoming traffic. ;)

Sorry for my amateur skills in english, greetz.
