Unless it had an engine swap from a newer model.

Replace 1256cc of thrashing Chevette engine (56hp) with that sublime 75hp family 1 engine? Surely not!

The old 1256cc engine wasn't used in the Astra.  It was the 1196cc "1200S" with a mighty 59hp.

Picture 1 of 11

VAUXHALL OMEGA MOT FEB CAZ ULEZ COMPLIANT AUTOMATIC LPG FSH ULEZ EXEMPT AUTO | eBay

Wonder if this is ULEZ compliant? Shame the vendor hasn't mentioned 274 times on the advert.

So grim that I want. So much less cool than a Mustang. Even the breathless, gutless Briggs and Stratton V6 engine adds to the charisma.

Reminds me of something even less desirable

That Mercury might be the most unappealing car I've ever seen. I want it badly

Would genuinely like to know how the Ascona was marketed against the Cavalier - how did it actually work? Someone here will know.

The first car I drove after passing my test was an Ascona. 1.9 Berlina auto, it was a company car my Dad was using because I’d crashed his Granada 2.0 L some weeks before . From memory it was considered on a par in the company car hierarchy even though a Cavalier would have been a Cortina competitor. Asconas and  Mantas were quite common as were Senators and Monzas, whereas Rekords were very rare compared to Carltons. Don’t know if there was any logic. As for Viceroys and Commodores ? No fucker bought either of ‘em, so it didn’t matter.
