imo even if they continued the production , v8 wont give the desired power levels.. would have cooling issues etc etc..

someone who still want a v8 in his/her omega can do it but requires deep pockets to install and run as a daily car..  in that case I would personally prefer a second hand E39 M5 bimmer without any doubt..

Moderators, ban him!  Bimmer is not a Meega! There IS a difference! Shouldn't be compared as alternatives

Beemers are obviously for ladyboys, but I would concede that the proper M series ones are acceptable for blokes.

Well we can't odds the politics...

What about the sum of the parts, vollgafest etc, can't see that being possible in this country and can't see the issue being directly related go the lump on it's own....  Can you?


I mean it's been tuned to give over 1000 hp in some cases....?

sorry guys I have a different opinion, i thinnk someone realised that gm would be fighting itself with the monaro coming on line
or that it was cheaper to rebadge the holden as a vauxhall and sell it here and in germany, yes the omega v8 had cooling problems at high speed so rather than solve them on the prototype they just stopped and went with the monaro

Different, non competing cars. VXR8 would be competitor...

It is a shame vauxhall stand on Holdens way in the UK market.

aaaaarrrrrgggghhhhh, thought the monaro was the first one came over here!! ok what im saying is vauxhall decided with the monaro coming they wouldnt bother producing the omega v8!!!

Nah, don't buy it, there was a problem with the car! If it was political why wait until two weeks before launch to can it?

They must have had the production line built and ready to roll?

[aaronjb]

Surely you wouldn't build a production line and get that close to launch without bugfixing a car - after all, last minute changes to the design would be a PITA to retro-fit to a production line?

Its potentially possible, if it was going to be a limited number for prestige, that the V8 ones would be hand modified, due to the large number of differences beyond the engine/box/front subframe.
