It looks like the 2003 Omega V8 that did not make its way to the production line... where did you see it saying '2007'?

...OK, I see it, it says '©2007' at the bottom, but surely that's the website's copyright notice, not the model year of the car?

Well it would be nice if Opel sold the old production line to Fiat Polski to manufacture Omegas under license... might get myself a nice 'new' zero-miles Elite  :y

But somehow I doubt it...  :(

No, this is just one of the Ozzie Holden V8 variety, which incidentally GM is now bring here badged as Vauxhall since the Monaro is gone. And they are all 6L not 5.8 as before. Not bad by itself mind you...
