Looks pretty good interior wise, Only plus apart from the more power bit.

I hope they put the Indicator stalk on the correct side for the UK market!  I hate driving cars with the Indicators on the R/H stalk.  >:(

It is lacking one useful toy that can be found in a 1997 onwards Omega for a 55k+ car, doesn't look like its got HiDs Xenons, for that price is odd. and its got that daft E-Brake.

Looking at the side profile, the doors and shell are unchanged, so front wings, lights, bonnet, boot lid and bumpers should all swap with existing ones :y

At least the wheels are better than the crappy ones on the GTS :-\

Must be having a mid life crisis, as I quite like the exterior, more than the previous 2010 one.

Not sure about the centre console, otherwise interior looks OK.

Yeah, now you mention it. I was trying to find the words until now but I'm enlightened. It looks like a Nike trainer on wheels. Hideous. :(
