Personally I prefer the Omega. I used to have one. 3.0MV6 Auto with full Recaro leather option. Used it as a taxi. I miss that car. VERY fast and comfortable.

I thought this was the "what did you have immediately before the fronty". Not a full run down of previous motors...

Had RR hybrid running a Mazda 3.5 ltr TDI on 33 x12.50 R 15 Grabber AT2s, it took 2 years to build. Ran it for just short of three years, bought the Fronty and sold the RR on.

Awsome off road and comfy too. but not a practical everyday car.
