Not available for the UK market.

I believe they were fitted to the Opel range along with the Electronic folding door mirrors.

I wouldn't hold my breath for a replacement for an Omega. It's cheaper & easier to just use & adapt existing front wheel drive platforms for any future car.

Cup holders? :-/ In all the years I've been driving I have never ever thought .... 'Mmm? I wish I had a holder for this drink'  :-?  :y :y

I personally dont care for the ones I saw for the Catera, as I think they are completly in the wrong place.

I like my add on Air Vent ones, I can keep my Coke chilled in Summer and Coffe Warm in Winter.

I see where yo are coming from on the FWD layout, but surely there must still be a RWD Market out there.

The standard omega one works fine. Wedged between the handbrake & tunnel Ridge.
