I think that the real answer is that not all Mig owners will get the same car next ............
Sadly I think you may be correct :(

I bought my first Omega 6 years ago, a 1994 2.5 V6, it went to the scrap yard last month after 200,000 miles still running sweetly but looking like a shed. :'(

Its replacement is a 2003 2.6 Elite. If it lasts as long I will be looking for a replacement sometime between 2015 & 2018.

Phaeton Now thats a real possibility ....

They are massive cars, there is no Haynes manual and the shocks cost £4k a set to change as must be done @ the same time.

The one to have would be the V10 TDi 5.0 methinks ....

Lets think

What is classy looking but slightly anonomous - so doesn't stand out or look offensive?

What is rear wheel drive?

What doesn't have those funny LED Volvo lights?

What is affordable?

Any answers yet?

So, ALL beemers are gay, and Audi is going that way?

Whats the spriritual successor to the Omega then when its time has come?

Its an interesting point as having had my first company one new in '94 (one of the famous L reg "purple" pre-production V6 CD saloons) and then into an Elite, all support was via the dealership. Going in to private ownership in 2000 to a '97 MV6 there was very little support via the Autobahnstormers. Now its great, the cars are cheap and this place gives such fantastic help & support. BUT, the last car coming out of Russelsheim in 2003, so I suspect that the Omega "world" is at its zenith at the moment - asking the question, "whats next" to many people.

I think that the real answer is that not all Mig owners will get the same car next ............
Its fair to say that my next car won't be a BMW (I won't allow one to park on my driveway, horrid pieces of junk), and very unlikely to be a Skoda Audi. 

You're right, everyone will have something different.  Doubt few of us will go for the german 'badge counts' cars, seeing as we are happy with our no badge exec cars.  Not much choice.


And anything thats style over substance - BMW, Apple Macs and gayPhones, Nokia N95 etc - are for gentlemen far too in touch with their feminine side....

4k ? Must be dealer price surely? Cheap diagnostic software though. But using it's another matter.
Vag forum is shite, as are the dealers but nothing new there.

I do have a contact with one of the service engineers, he can be helpfull depending how busy "he" is, he earns a packet on the side. But does come out with some crap sometimes ;D.

I think we need to realise we have been spoiled with support on here allowing big savings. Unless TB starts a phaeton forum, or whatever car you go for,  its GOING to be more expensive to run.

With that in mind, personally i hope general car chat grows to cover other Manufacturers a bit more if possible, for the sake of all our wallets.

I was seriously considering either an Audi A6 or A8 when I replaced my Omega last month but money talks.

There was no way I could get close to Elite spec in an Audi at a reasonable price.

For the money, its not possible to buy anything other than an omega.....at the moment. I tried, but failed.
