I think it is a Catera but with Opel Badges & Grill etc!! So technically its not an Omega.

It has Polish plates on the front, so it could well be an import, but why would you import an Omega all the way to the States when you could buy a Catera :-/ The plot thickens ;)

i have just recently been in the US, while not a popular car, the catera was badged as such, with the caddy logos on it. to me its an omega, if i wanted a catera i would buy one that says catera, if i want a mig, i would buy one badged as such, imho the seller is misrepresenting the car.

I know the Catera was badged as Catera but I have seen quite a few that have been rebadged as Opel. They seem to like the Opel better than the Cadillac. So I still think it could be a Catera under all the Opel badges and irmscher stuff.

As for the polish plates I don't know. If it is imported I could be wrong and it may well be an Opel. But then why call the listing  Cadillac Catera????

The climate panel switchgear is wrong, looks like elite rims and boot spoiler with MV6 seats.

Full logic optional sunroof!

Still...looks good though.

The safety labels under the bonnet are in English too & i would have thought if it was a Polish vehicle, they would be in maybe German :-?

Another thing is if it was polish you would think it would have the omega rear lights and this one has the catera lights.

i going to say it is an opel omega , however it appears the radio and climate have been changed as they look like catera ones unless this car has seen a hell of a lot of money and alterations thrown at it
