Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but I think the Opel is basically the same car as the (now discontinued) Cadillac Catera… Wasn’t the Cadillac Catera known as: "The Catera, the Caddy that ziggs…" The Catera was the only Cadillac I ever liked, I miss that little car…  |

You're right. The Catera was based on the Omega. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cadillac_Catera |

Little car? You know by our standards the Omega is considered a reasonably large car. Not huge but still bigger than average, it's what we used to call an "Executive Car", which is a car that is bigger and a little more upmarket (or at least they were supposed to be) than a "Family Car" (Ford Mondeo, Vauxhall Vectra, VW Passat etc). But the Catera wasn't a real Cadillac, was it? A Cadillac is a big, plush, wallowing barge of a car, the Catera is just a small (by US standards) European car. It's not hard to see why the Catera failed, they should have badged it as a Chevy or something. |

Silly me, I didn’t know that when I declared a car’s size, I had to mention its size classification for other countries as well... ![[:tongue]](https://imcdb.opencommunity.be/images/smileys/tongue.gif "[:tongue]") The fact is the Catera was a small car when compared to other vehicles traversing American roads. Its replacement, the Cadillac CTS is slotted in the mid-size category (but it’s not even the biggest car in that class) If the Catera/Omega was considered a large car in Europe, then that’s quite alright with me. -- Last edit: 2007-09-09 19:25:36 |

I just said it to give you an idea of the scale of European cars compared to American cars, but yes the Catera/Omega is small compared to a full-size American car like the Cadillac DeVille or Lincoln Town Car. But surely the Catera was big enough for the mid-size category? It's about the same size as a Ford Taurus and Chevrolet Lumina. But anyway American cars have always been on a different scale to European cars (especially during the 40s-70s), so it's understandable why you call them small. After I went to America recently and saw all the monstrously huge SUVs and pickups trucks over there, things like the Range Rover and Toyota Land Cruiser didn't seem that big anymore. But then we have less space and narrower roads, having big American SUVs over here would be ludicrous. But anyway, what did you like about the Catera (even though I don't think many people consider it a real Cadillac due to it's compactness)? -- Last edit: 2007-09-10 13:13:49 |

Newer than 1994, this sporting trim was named MV6 and came out in late 1997 here. @ blue_thunder:  what is the verdict on the headlamps? |

If you can see the headrests, you can say, if a 1999-only or not. |
