Dated isn't necessarily a bad thing especially coming from folk who only like what's new so have no real love of any car. The Omega shape is timeless from the first base spec GLS to the last facelift Elite & is one of the few cars ever made that can carry off an equally cool estate.

providing there'll still be a supply of decent crank sensors & someone around to repair ABS modules

Must admit the pre face lift is looking dated but the interior is as good if not better than todays cars

its a general acceptance that egg shaped cars design dont become dated .. look in new passats , beamers , opels all start to curve the corners and go for egg shape.. imo pre facelift look newish than the facelift

(except mercedes and who cares )

I think it's a great design but take the point that the black door strips look a bit pants now, I put facelift ones + rear bumper on mine and colour coded the front bumper.


Car design goes in circles, square vectra and focus to the softer ones we have now.

Omegas rule!!

i think the cockpit looks a bit dated now but i can live wiyh that

There are times when i think my facelift car looks like a big Astra from the front but the overall look is still cool IMO

Pre-facelift does look dated, yes, but the facelift still looks fresh if you ask me

I think that the Omega has stood the test of time very well some of the new cars rolling off the line now look more  dated body wise than the Omega. The drag co. eff. is still up there in the top ten. That is undoubtebly one of the reasons why "Rats" chose the Omega body shell for his 245mph+ "bullet" project  Not bad for a car that was designed over 17 years ago 8-)

I said the very same thing ages back ..... but some 'disagreed'

i prefer the pre arse end to the new and the pre cockpit to the new but the front end on the facelift is as modern as todays cars

as i put in the dam dam dam thread by MDTM i dont think weve come forward with cars,something that was so basic and got you from A to B  was what some people now call dated cars and although the omega in my eyes can date back to the carlton and comes as far forward as (2003 was it or it could be 04 someone feel free to correct)it stands the test of both times but bring back the cortina/granada/rovers/escort/triumphs eh guy

I reckon in years to come the prefacelift will age better.

Never been in a facelift so dont know about the interior but the minifacelift is definatly much better than the pure crap that most modern interiors are
