I think we should should have an "ex-Omega Club" and maybe what was bought next

Me ? After four Omegas I now have a Volvo XC70 Estate. A bit dull but not bad. Great road holding.

For normal day to day driving you don't notice FWD vs RWD

Oh!

Some day - I think around 2022 - I will be the last real Omega driver all over Europe. Should I be allowed to write to the Previous Omega Owners Forum?

I hope so....

Very nice and should do well with 160 bhp,don't tell Lord Opti that it runs on tractor fuel though :D :D

Good choice as a newer car :y

It's no Omega estate, but you'll not go too far wrong with it ;)

Of course, it goes without saying that Tunnie won't like it :D

I much prefer the design of the Insignia estate (Tourer?) to the saloon. Nice car.

However, I presume you are aware that combustion is taken care of by canal boat fuel. ::) ::) ::) ;)

Satan is everywhere. ;)

He'll like the 'derv' part of the equation. Less so the Insignia part :)

Looks really smart! Hope it serves you well  :y. I looked at the Insignia but couldn't get on with the seats - seat comfort is such a personal thing though.

160bhp and 260 ft lbs will make for a great cruiser.  :)

That sticker price do make them tempting though for 3.2 replacement, but I'm looking more now at Zaf Tourer's with 1.4T lump.

Just wish Rupert would hurry up and buy Sky. (damn Ofcom!)
