Black door strips look dated

Car itself doesn't - actually what does date it is that it is not dumpy and ugly

Considering how long ago the Omega B first went into production, I think it's doing pretty well. It's got a sleek shape, and the back looks good, only thing that lets it down for me is the front on the Vauxhall ones - the Opel and Holden versions look better at the front for me  :y

Do you care what he thinks? Whether it is or not doesn't matter if you like it.  ;)

Maybe my preface lift is starting to, but I don't care.  ::)

i love mine, especially the colour. but the silver is starting to grow on me now.

And my director who owned an elite from new, said at the site meeting monday to me that he regrets getting rid of it in place of an x type jag. and hes giving me his roof bars when he comes down at the next site meeting on monday.  :y

I think the Omega looks better than all BMW's...old or new  ;)
I also have a 1996 Laguna Estate, top class nick and when I look at them both parked outside together, they both look as modern as any car  :y

My facelift estate looks fantastic. It looks slighty dated when viewed from the rear. From every other angle I personally feel it challenges modern design :y

My MOT is due in 6 weeks, if nothing untoward crops up, I fully intend to keep my Elite until it dies, I just love it 8-) 8-)

At the end of the day the omega is never going to have the looks of an aston but who cares when you are sitting in nice soft seat cruising on the motorway with no effort enjoying the ride. Can go any where and still feel refreshed and do its all with a bit of style for not alot of money at all and look at the knob next to you in his little euro box or bmw with sports supension that is only good for cracking nuts.
