Not the best looking beasty inside and out especially interior, Seems very basic as well apart from the bigger engine, The way he describes it being superior over the European version or more precisely the Vauxhall version is complete gobbledygook  ;D

Not at all unpleasant though the rear lights are a bit in your face. Low miles.

What auto box will it have ? AR35 or something else?

I bet spares like exhaust are hard to source.

Ancient 3.8 pushrod lump versus 3.2 Omega. I know where my money would be.. Unless it's the supercharged variant.

In that case, it's the one I drove across Canada from Calgary to Vancouver and it's an asthmatic lump that won't rev and can't pull the skin off a wet rice pudding. ::)

Actually, the fuel consumption was quite decent if I recall correctly, especially considering it was in a Dodge Caravan / Chrysler Voyager.
