I know its an Omega forum, but these are a stunning car IMHO

I will be having one of these in a couple of years, once CDX gives up.

You'll start MarkJay off again.

Yup, waiting for heavy depreciation to kick-in...  ;)

..and since sadly I don't think the Holden VXR8 will depreciate as heavily, looks like a c300 it is  :y

Sorry but they don't do anything for me.
Too bulky and chunky looking.
I like the look of the old yank tanks but the modern stuff nah.

OK... can you then name another RWD, rather large but not huge, alternative motor to the Omega - other than Merc/BMW/Jaguar? Cadillac CTS?

i bet the insurance is a nice price aswell!!

I can see myself owning one of these when i turn 30 :D

Probably not that bad, not sure what the group is but my 840Ci is group 20 and it's still a fair chunk cheaper than my Impreza WRX STi was to insure. The Omega (group 16 IIRC) is a fair bit cheaper again. Admittedly I've since passed the supposedly magical age 25 barrier, but I think it's got a lot to do with the average driver profile -- I can't imagine anywhere near as many 300c will be wrapped around a tree compared with Subarus, Evos, etc proportionately speaking. It's a sensible "old man's" car at the end of the day, even if it is available with a 5.7 V8. The fact you can't buy it with a manual gearbox suggests that the average owner probably uses it to pop down to the post office on a Wednesday to pick up his pension :D
