Omega is the last letter of the Greek alphabet and was the last attempt made by Opel to compete against the other German premium carmakers.
Introduced in 1986 as a replacement for the Senator lineup, the Omega reached its second and final generation in 1994. GM designers carefully crafted its smooth lines and modern exterior look. It used the same platform as the Cadillac Catera and Holden Commodore. Unfortunately for the Opel brand, that was not enough to compete against BMW and Mercedes-Benz due to less-inspired drivetrains.
From the outside, its sleek headlights with white turn-signals mounted on the exterior looked fresh. Its grille sported a horizontal chromed slat with the Opel badge in the middle. An arched roofline with sloped rear windscreen formed an elegant profile for the most significant vehicle produced by GM's European arm. In the back, the taillights were split into two sections, on the trunk lid, and on the rear quarter panels.
Inside, the designers had plenty of room to create a spacious cabin fit for five adults. Though, the middle passenger from the bench had to ride on top of the tall transmission tunnel that crossed the car from front to rear, where the transmission was.
Under the hood, GM installed a range of gasoline and diesel engines. A 2.0-liter inline-four powered the base version. It was too weak to lively move the heavy vehicle. The top performer was a fuel-thirsty 3.0-liter V6 that could barely match the 2.8-liter Mercedes-Benz E-Class, and with higher fuel consumption.
