Hey guys is with great pleasure that I present to you the story of Carlton here in Brazil.

First of all let's explain some differences:

Vauxhall = Chevrolet
Carlton = Omega

Started production in 1992 and finished in 1998, both of the GL, GLS and CD. In 1993 launched the station wagon named Supreme and had its production ended in 1996.

Below the list of engines:

2.0, 2.2 Gasoline (4-cyl.)
2.0 Alcohol (4-cyl.)
3.0, 4.1 Gasoline (6-cyl.)

The Carlton was considered the most luxurious car, assembled in Brazil, being used by presidents and other officials. There was even a category of stock car championship.

Currently he is still highly coveted, but unfortunately the spare parts are hard to find sometimes having to ask for help the brothers out of Brazil.

Fortunately for many it came to be produced and launched a special edition named Omega Fitipaldi. Fitipaldi was a great Brazilian driver who raced in Formula 1 and other categories (He is still alive).

Sure something can be arranged if off the shelf airride kits can be sent the other way! Smiley
