how many cars built in today's market will be around in 15 years time and in some case's as good as new. the omega is a good solid car that stood the test of time, also you wont find many that compete with space, spec and price.

Found another video from Men and Motors, Probably didn't find it before because they didn't call it the Omega, Just the "ELITE" ... (Just noticed) It was uploaded 11th of February 2014 so wouldn't have seen it before, What a numpty  :-X ::)

GM pulled the plug after getting cold feet - The test bed vehicle is in the ?Opel museum in Germany I understand.

Chris continues in his quest to create his very own version, I also understand....


I enjoyed the reviews of the GTS & the M5 versus the GTS too.

Good post Omegaman, Cheers! :y :y
