The ''' | The '''Chevrolet Omega''' is an [[executive car]] sold by [[General Motors do Brasil]] for the [[Brazil]]ian market. Replacing the [[Chevrolet Opala]], which was a development of the [[Opel Rekord]] C, the original Chevrolet Omega was based on the [[Opel Omega]] A, and built locally between 1992 and 1998. After 1999, local production ceased, and GM imported [[Badge engineering|badge engineered]] versions of the [[Holden Commodore]] from [[Australia]]. | ||

[[ | Based on the [[Opel Omega]] A, the '''Chevrolet Omega A''' debuted in [[Brazil]] in 1992 with a choice of two engines — a 2.0 L four-cylinder (GLS and GL trim) and 3.0 L six-cylinder (CD trim). From 1995, the engines were upgraded to a 2.2 L four (GLS) and a 4.1 L six (CD) (from the previous GM Opala, but with electronic fuel injection added) respectively. The Omega quickly gained success in [[Brazil]], where it was regarded as one of the most luxurious cars of its time{{Fact|date=May 2008}}. Both [[sedan (car)|sedan]] and [[station wagon]] (called Omega Suprema) [[Car body style|body styles]] were available. The station wagon shared the exact powertrain configuration and trim options with the sedan. Some funeral parlor owners chose the Omega Suprema as the preferred car for hearse-based modifications. | ||

In 1999, with the '''Chevrolet Omega B''', General Motors ceased local production in favour of importing a [[Badge engineering|badge engineered]] version of the [[Holden Commodore|Holden Calais]], with subsequent model changes mirroring those of the Australian counterpart. The original Omega B was equipped with the 3.8 L [[Buick V6 engine]], developing 207 PS (152 kW), but the 2005 update received a new 3.6 L [[GM High Feature engine|Alloytec V6]]. The second generation Omegas were only offered as a four-door sedan (the Commodore also had wagon and pickup variants), and identical Australian-made [[Driving on the left or right|left-hand drive]] models were also exported as the Chevrolet Lumina. | |||

For the fourth generation '''Chevrolet Omega C''', General Motors again looked to [[Holden]] for the new model. The Omega C launched in mid-2007 is little more than a rebadged [[Holden VE Commodore|Holden VE Berlina]], a member of the [[Holden Commodore|Commodore]] family<ref>{{Cite web | last = Pettendy | first = Marton | date = [[2007-07-05]] | url = http://www.redbook.goauto.com.au/mellor/mellor.nsf/story2/E9AB3A07C912C8B5CA25730F002176DB | title = Commodore goes to Rio | publisher = John Mellor Pty Ltd | accessdate = 2007-07-06}}</ref>. It is available with the 3.6 L Alloytec engine. | |||
