They also aren't that quick and they handle like poo poo. Also, they are company cars. No one wakes up one morning and thinks I will go buy an Omega. It would be as stupid as waking up in the morning and thinking 'Hmm, I think I will paint my entire house beige'.

i'd have a fully irmschered one in star silver 51plate the very last of the ones made, not only would it move, it would also be practical for family etc, just not on petrol....

If you want an Omega get a job in some crappy office that gives out company cars. You'll get one for free.... Don't bother buying one. They are in the same league as Mondeos, only lease companys actually part money for them
