VAUXHALL OMEGA (1994 - TO 2004)狂暴奥米加(1994年-2004年)
The Omega was to be the Vauxhall that BMW, Mercedes and Audi customers could buy with confidence.奥米加被制服了,是宝马、奔驰和奥迪用户可以购买信心. Launched in 1994, it was intended to blur the difference between mainstream executive cars and their prestige sector counterparts.发起于1994年,是为了混淆行政区别主流车界同行和声望. And it has.它. Though there aren't many about on the used market, they make desirable buys.虽然为数不多的对市场采用,他们提出理想买. An Omega is built just as well as any rival from Bavaria, Stuttgart or Ingolstadt.欧米茄是建立一个公正以及任何对手来自巴伐利亚,斯图加特还是塔特奥迪. Yet market perception continues to place a lower value on that Vauxhall badge; hence the fact that a second-hand version is far better value.但市场认为将继续推行这一路上徽章价值较低;所以到了二手商品版好得多.

ON THE ROAD 在路上
The car really handles like a thoroughbred sports saloon, even in its humbler guises.办理汽车真的就像一匹体育球馆、谦虚,甚至在其伪装. The combination of an agile chassis and thorough development of the old Carlton/Senator suspension layout has produced remarkable results which you?ll be keen to demonstrate to BMW-owning colleagues.结合敏捷、深入发展的旧底盘为Carlton/参议员悬浮布局取得了显着的成果,你呢?当地渴望展示宝马拥有同事.
Flat out, the car is impressively stable, giving a feeling of unflappability even at highly illegal motorway speeds.单位出的车技是堂堂正正稳定,让感觉非常镇定甚至非法高速公路车速. Punt it round your favourite twisty `B` road and the responses are as satisfying as you could wish for.这一轮你最喜爱踢`曲折`二道满足你的反应是求之不得.
