is there any one has any idea if Opel is gonna put a new model of Omega? many friends here china want to buy if they had choice. many people are going to replace their cars after some years.
-
Highly unlikely. ;)
-
GM are doing well in china market these two years and, most of cars are from Opel models originally but only put buick brand instead of Opel.
seems I need to keep my omega fit as have no idea when I gonna have the chance to get a new model of Omega :) :)
-
there was talk of another RWD vauxhall/opel.
doubt it will be called omega, and omega means "the end of or last" strange thing to call a model lol
-
well many people like the Omega as I know,very good performance especially in highway. but people hate it too as omega is not easy and expensive to maintain in china. happens to Vectra C too. Opel market share is shrinking in china.
anyway, I like the omega performance and the most I like is the stream bodyshape that really attracts me.
-
just done some searching, and it looks like the new rwd idea was binned, the insignia is AWD. also sold as a buick iirc.

If GM promoted OPEL instead of Buick at the begining in China, then GM may not went bankcrupt. as OPEL stands much younger than Buick. not OPEL only has ANTARA and ZAFIRA in china market. if OPEL dont have any new things to step in then who knows what gonna happen in years to OPEL here. Looks GM wants to give up OPEL in CN market
Holden STATESMAN looks like Omega very likely, but unfornately very short life in CN and didnt have any good reputation. but anyway, parts supply is a really big problem for OPEL in CN
