Isn't that an X5? :twisted:

Ahh, the freelander in a trilby ...
Did you know that the name "x5" came after the bit of maths they did on the freelander price list for it :D

Rather than ugliest car, how 'bout ugliest car manufacturer, as I've yet to see an even bearable Ssangyong. :lol:

IIRC the previous model outsold the Omega; after the "facelift" the Omega outsold the new model 5 to 1. I find the whole thing staggering. I'd have loved to have been in the board meeting when they finally decided to shoot it in the head.

I quite like the Omega & it's on the 'Regret Never Buying One' list.
We almost got a 2.5Tdi CDX(?) estate before I bought the Discovery instead.

Was this actually designed by primary school children?

I don't know, but there's a mum with one at my daughters school. I shield her eyes when she come out & has to walk past it :lol:

I had an Omega too, with the BMW 6-cylinder diesel from the early P38. It had an "S" button on the auto gearshift. The "S" stood for "Smoke" - if you pressed the S button and booted the throttle, the car behind would disappear in a huge cloud of black smoke...

That's the one!
We were looking at a manual though, sadly the maximum towing limit was getting on for the laden weight of our BWSOW at the time ('89 Swift Challenger 520/5TA)
I don't think the Omega would have (legally at least?) coped with the Crusader we bought next (1600KG MTPLW)
