Looks nice, wonder how many parts are shared with GM Europe, and if you can get parts on TC  :-/

Oh I see, in the states they had the 2.6, and 3.2L for the first 2 years, then they moved to a 2.8L and a 3.6L...

Yeah its a 3.6 auto with electric everything.
No rain sensor wipers though, but it does have fully automatic lights to make up for it!
Nowhere to put anything inside, but again cup holders make up for that.

Definitely quicker than my old 3.2 Elite, firmer suspension too.

Even has voice recognition for the nav/audio system, and a TV/DVD player... 8-)

I gave 6900 for it with 22k on the clock, my first  40k Elite was nearly 2k more than that!

That's a good looking car!
You say it handles better than you Omega - what's the ride like?

I'm thinking a couple of years ahead........I like the look, and would stick a Griffin badge on it FTW! :y

I've not really thrown it around much yet, but its stiffer than my old Elite, and rolls less in corners.
Seats are softer and more comfy, but the leather is not as good as VX.
Strangely, the TC on/off is in the passenger glovebox!
Luckily there are configurable buttons on the steering wheel, so I've re-configured TC to my left thumb just in case I need to show off sideways. I guess most people would set them for radio tuning or similar.
