Ummm the Aurion base model doesnt cut it? If your looking for a car to get from a to z… you get the same engine and trans across the range, the base model has loads of features for eg 6 airbags etc already so that isnt improved upon in the Sportivo etc. The Holden is the only major let down, very slow, 4 speed transmission, 4 airbags?, a/c wasnt std etc. Yet people and fleets still buy it!

Agreed. Most people whom buy the Omega’s are usually blokes whom have bought them for the other half and kids who think the world of Holden and have been encouraged by their other beer gutted mates. I like the mew SS commy but the base model in almost any range does not cut it.

“Hmm NRMA says its 9.1
Holden says its 8.5″

Don’t worry, i’m guessing the confusion is probably more a case of “who gives a sh*t, its an Omega”. I don’t think anyone buys its for its 0-100. I’m guessing most Omega owners don’t who even know what the figure is, but most SV6 owners would have tried it, timed it and tried to beat it

Alot of articles conflict, NRMA asy 9.1… webwombat says 7s…. Im guessing because they use the el-cheapo stopwatch method which isnt accurate. But from what Ive seen majority say high 8s to 9s which seems more plausible considering its power and weight etc.

Or maybe there is…
Must be down to Holden gearing it for every last bit of fuel efficiency.

Hmm NRMA says its 9.1
Holden says its 8.5
I’ll just stick with the SV6 in the article

SV6 does it in 6.8 seconds per Motor magazine, so the Omega would be doing it under 8 seconds, there isn’t 2.3 seconds between them.

Hmmm… I just checked the VE Omega, and what do you know its 9.1! I think I was thinking of the Current Ford Falcon which does it in 7.9 seconds.. god the Omega is slow! Will adjust accordingly.
thanks for pointing it out.

Well Ive read it mate from multiple sources… I think you are confused with the SV6 which does it under 8, the base VE, the Omega, does it over 8, supposedly 9.1seconds.
