again i am with markjay!!  

I can't see GM pumping money into a big new Vx/Opel badged car. If they do make one, it will be badged as a Caddy or Chevy.

Such as the new Chrysler 300 C - They will be cheap fast motoring soon.

Also a new Omega would pull sales away from the 300C, which is aimed at the same market. Big RWD that are cheap, even new.

Yes, I have already eyed the 300C as my potential next motor if no new Omega is on the horizon anytime soon... It captures the Omegas spirit in its being a non-nonsense exec with RWD and down-to-earth price tag. However Chrysler is NOT part of GM - its part of Chrysler-Daimler who compete against GM and Ford in the US market, so the sucess of the 300C will, if anything, make it more likely that GM will push its Cadillac against it.

Oh yeh OoOoPs  

Forgot Chrysler was not part GM  

Well maybe there will be a new Omega out soon, but 300c's on '06 plates with fully kitted with less than 10k miles are already going for less than 20k

I think the caddy looks ok but IMHO the depreciation will be be on a par with the 300C once the novelty of the badge has worn off.The vectra/saab base is not exactly exciting either!
If  300c prices continue in freefall I'll look for one in the auctions early next year when they should be about half price-a bargain.

Chrysler 300 engine choices:

'6.1-liter SRT HEMI® V8 engine with 425 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque

Chrysler 300C SRT8 is the most powerful vehicle for under $45,000.*

5.7-liter HEMI® V8 engine with Multiple-Displacement System (MDS), 340 horsepower at 5,000 rpm, and 390 lb-ft of torque, standard on 300C—the most horsepower and torque in its class.† MDS allows the engine to operate on four cylinders when power demands are minimal, increasing fuel efficiency by up to 20 percent. This provides the power of a V8 with the economy of a large V6. (EPA estimated mpg: 17 city/ 25 highway)

I think it looks like the CROSSFIRE from the back but all the same still looks nice.
