i bought my first omega when i was 25 and one of my mates said "is it your dads??"

loads of people tell me its an old mans car, but the MV6 and Sport definately dont have the plain-ness about them

i love mine, and i dont care what anyone else thinks!

Most of my colleagues have been in mine, and accept that it is a quick, good handling car.  But as it lacks a german badge, they wouldn't want one, as the badge is more important than anything else

Tell her it's a police motorway pursuit car

Nope, I like it being a cheap old rustbucket. Twists the knife a little further when Beemer Man loses....

Anyone south of 30 probably couldn't afford to insure one, so yes, it's an old man's car, but only by default.

Also don't agree that they've dated in the styling department - I think the quicker ones on low profiles look beautifully judged, beautifully proportioned.
I love looking at mine - i've had lots of cars down the years, some pretty good ones, and not many have I taken such visual pleasure from.

I agree 100% with you,the Omega lends itself really well to various  upgrades and I'm glad in a way that the boy racers can't get insured for it. [smiley=wink.gif]

You cant see many young people driving an Omega.In area where I am at the moment I just saw few middle age drivers in this car.
I have bought my first one when I was in Poland.That was the best decision I ever made.I'm only 28 and I dont feel I'm too young for this car

Just asked my missus if she thinks its an old mans car and her reply was "is it the same as yours?" followed by "yes it is"

It's when a model of car gets adorned with various 'just crashed through Halfords' tat and a bin for a exhaust / max power sticker you know it can only go downhill from there!

I do think the Omega has worn well, the Facelift still looks relatively modern in the average car park to me. I'm a fan of the classic saloon car shape which seems to be dying out lately, infact the only current car that meets my approval (simple really - RWD, Saloon, boat size....) is the current 5 series.

Show her the interior of my car and she may change her mind

My wife is French and knows nothing about cars at all and has even less interest in them, apart from how to drive one.  That said I am 60 and know a good car when I see one and the Omega is one of the best!  Furthermore I can stuff a jukebox or pinball machine in the back with room to spare.
