as far as I remember all those years ago at russelshiem - there were two versions of the catera - the top of the range version had chrome wheels - looked the dogs 'dangle berries' nothing like an Omega we always thought (including the Germans) if they had sold it in europe it would have sold well.
Top complaints about the Catera from the spams (stupid -americans)

Cup holders too small  ;D
Dont know what gear it is in - shifts too smooth  ;D


and thats true - my boss was had to attend many a meeting over stupid things
