MV6 is a model, which uses exactly the same engine/gearbox as the other 3.0/3.2 Omegas (ie Elite).  The MV6 is a 'sporty' model, has stiffer, lowered suspension, 235/45ZR17 tyres (as do facelift Elites).

MV6 prefacelift fits in around the CDX spec, although doesn't have cruise, but does have HIDs

MV6 facelift fits in around CD spec, but with HIDs

Important to stress that the MV6 have standard engines just like the rest of the Omegas... MV6 have suspension tunning but no engine tunning, unlike with other Vauxhall models (e.g. VXR editions) etc.

Not lowered that much.  Those that have been to my house know all the speed ramps around here. Not to mention the crap roads...

MV6 is lowered 30mm over standard Omega.

Look quite nice when you lower it a further 30mm.... :)

Or, confusingly...... In Europe they had the MV6 while we had the Elite.
