My omega replacement

So this is what I've opted for as my omega replacement. Had it 2 weeks now and the only fault I have with it is that it's not rear wheel drive. It's a 1.9 ttid, twin turbo pushing out 180bhp and serious torque. Nudge the loud pedal  and ur instantly over the ton and struggling to climb out from the rear seats.  Handles like a dream, loads of power and easy on fuel. I set the cruise at a steady 80 and it's returning over 50mpg. The omega was costing me £120/week for my commute, this costs me £60.

P.s hopefully someone can get the pics to come up properly. I've been trying for hrs!! >:(

No pic, but I assume that its a SAAB. How many miles have you got to do to save the cost of the car? :-\

I think you need to change some dropbox setting or use a link that allows the image to be used in a web page.

The saab cost me £2100. With a fuel saving of £60/week for me and a yearly saving on tax of £145 I should have the price difference saved within 6 months or less
 My last omega cost me £700

Saab is a nice car.
But it's just a car that you drive in stead of omega.
It's not a omega replacement - nothing can replace omega  ;D ;D :y

Omega is just a cheap large car. So is a used Saab.
