Did Vauxhall ever manufacture a............
« on: 13 July 2014, 14:54:35 »

......four cylinder version of the Omega?

Of course, like most people, I've heard the rumours. I've heard the rumour that an anaemic four pot motor was fitted to some variants of Vauxhall's magnificent flagship, thus endowing this heavy car with glacial acceleration and poor fuel consumption. ::) ::) ::)

Surely this can't be true. It has to be no more than malicious gossip.......right?

Having owned three Omega......each with with 6 cylinders set in a 'V' formation I genuinely hope that the rumour of an inline four cylinder omega with barely enough power to break wind is false. :y :D :D :D ;D

Someone please tell me it is. ;)

I though all variants had 4 valves for each cylinder. :-\

So an undernourished 2 litre lump with only 4 cylinders and 8 valves. Can it get any worse?.... ;) :D

I've heard they are an ideal students car, where there not fast enough to harass the person carrying the red flag in front of them and they don't need to pull the skin off a rice pudding. :P They get at least 600 miles per tank of fuel, 50,000 miles out of a set of tyres and 30,000 miles out of their front brake pads. So poor students on a tight budget can afford to buy and run them. I think there is a student who drives one in Camberley, who I'm sure can enlighten you further. :P ;D ;D ;D ;D

I've heard rumours that the man carrying the red flag occasionally has to slow down so the 'out of breath' four pot can catch up. ::) ::) ;)
