Opel Omega

275 points

Omega was ment for an spot lower to Senator position, but in fact it had a longer wheelbase, more room and bigger trunk than the older big Opel. Refined suspensions, good comfort and advanced aerodynamics made a very pleasant car. Displacement was polarized between the modest 1.8/2.0 4-cylinder engines and a powerful, costly 3.0i V6 with 177 hp.
