The Opel/Vauxhall Omega, CadCatera (and even an Aussie brother : under Holden badge i guess) are identical, but for badge and trim : levels. Makes you wonder, both Opel and Vauxhall Omega have a quite : nifty looking estate/station-wagon. Why did Cadillac never take *that* : for the US instead of that shameful Escalade. That would be at least : in the direction of the Euro/Lux brands they claim to be targetting : now. It could compete (Well...attempt to anyway) with the 5 series : Touring, 9-5 Estate, V70, E-class and so on. I dunno about the States, : but here a Bimmer 3/5 touring or the C/E-class wagon are top of the : line, well situated at the golf/course parking lot... Most European cars have been sort of a status symbol over here for quite some time. Unfortunately, this means that the US versions of a lot of them can *only* be had with piles and piles of expensive options that aren't optional, thus keeping them expensive. As you know, anything that is expensive is desirable. -- agreenbu Return to Main Index
