I've owned Vauxhalls for more than 35 years, I've just sold my Omega 3.2 Elite estate and bought a Mercedes E class estate to replace it, sad to see it go, I've owned it for 10 years and its been very reliable. There had been many threads about a suitable replacement and the Mercedes seemed to be one of the favourites...
But I'll still keep a check on here to see whats going on...
Just trying to list the ones I've had from memory..

I did put some pics up a few weeks ago.. But I'll post them again.. Its an E350 and a quick one with 265bhp and 630nm, they can be chipped to 310bhp and 750nm. The flappy paddles are a waste of time, gear stick on the steering column took a little getting used too, just put it in D and away you go. Its doing about 32mpg at the moment. Hopefully it'll improve when I stop using the throttle too much. Better rear leg room and boot space (just) than the Omega.

The Shaguar will get its first run tomorrow, I'll try to remember to reset one of the trips before I leave, see what it can achieve :-\
Weds - now you've posted them, I recall seeing the pics a few weeks back :y. Keep us up to date with how you are getting on with it, as although not for me, I know some are looking for Omega replacement options :y

I'd prefer a E-Class to a Zafira myself if splashing some cash.
Since i'm used to 3.2 fuel use, the E350 would be quite economical in comparison ;D
