It just struck me, did Vauxhall name the Omega after the last letter of the Greek alphabet because the Omega was to be the last rear wheel drive Vauxhall to be produced, or is it just a spooky coincidence :-/

Yes BV, it looks as though you will have to solve the classic 'A to O' quandary! You may need to speak to Albert Einstein...............well via a medium! :D :D :D ;)

Good idea BV :y
But in the meantime I have discovered that the Greek word Omega literally means "great O". For me that solves it. The Omega car is THE "great O" 8-) 8-) ;D ;D ;D ;)

Not a Vauxhall then! The Omega was the last rwd Vauxhall. They will never make another before they go F*cked and 4wd or electric cars dont count 8-)

Does anyone remember the film "The Omega man" wth Charlton Heston?
He drove a Mustang if memory serves.....but then he didn't have to pay for petrol did he... ;D :y

A little digging provides an answer...
Opel basically stole the name 'Omega' from the GM family car 'Oldsmobile Omega' produced during the 70's.

Yes, top film! But wasn't it Wil Smith in 'I Am Legend' who drove a Mustang? The same film re-made under the original book title... :y

Heston picks up a Mustang part way through the film - I can't remember what he was driving in the beginning, though.. I want to say a Merc, but I could be getting that confused with something else. Maybe it was a Charger/Challenger?
