HOLDEN’S Series II Omega Ute shows just how far the Australian coupe-utility has progressed. It now combines five-star crash safety, an advanced direct injection V6 engine and an automatic transmission that would have done any German luxury car proud just a decade ago. But for all its standard equipment, the Omega will always be overshadowed by the overtly sporting Holden Ute models. It also continues to suffer from the greatest VE negative of poor driver vision.
