Not enormously expensive compared to cars in the same range - 520D, E class etc..

Cramped cockpit, though, if you're at all girthy! Enormous boot (not quite E class size).. and I hope they drive better than the demo car I drove, because it tramlined worse than my Omega to the point that it was honestly hard to keep pointing in the right direction :(

We haven't had the Omega C yet!
2 years ago, there was gossip of an "Omega C" which is a rebadged Cadillac XTS (Epsilon 2 platform).
Was it an April Fool's joke?  It is the same platform as an Insignia already in Opel showrooms for years.
Why revive the name with something so contrary?

One thing for sure is vauxhall dont make cars as good and solid as the Omega any more , only car thats going to beat it is a Monaro or something from Oz with a big V8  :y




with the current fuel prices (1.40 £/litre here - as the £ has gone up) , a v8 is the worst candidate for a daily drive.. may be only for weekend :(

Ooooh no. It's the best candidate. ....ESP with LPG. :y


Chris, installing an LPG from a good brand on a V8 costs nearly a second hand car price here :-\


to compare, with that money you can buy 2 mint condition omega from your most expensive dealer..

Good job we're not there then. Isn't it. :)

Much more straightforward to install on an lsx Gm v8 than the omega v6, due to plastic inlet and no plenum :)

Cost is easily recouped in fuel savings in the first 9 months or so at 15k a year. ....Here! :)

So, here, cost isn't the issue.




Generally though cem, while we know there is an international element to this forum, we can't really taiyor our answers to that of local conditions to any member in another country. Such as Turkey in this instance. Can we?

This is primarily a uk based forum, and while a v8 could well be argued to be uneconomical, your basing your reply on Turhish economics to a uk member.

There ARE options and solutions to these problems. ...and btw, uk fuel
Prices have come down recently. Believe it or not.




in my posts when I mention costs I always underline that its not for UK..  its for my country .. which I live in..


and here there are million subjects discussed other than cost.. so your signature is invalid..
