The Lotus Carlton has way more power and a different body kit.
And I don't see why they shouldn't add this when they can "just" premiumize the Carlton. Since they're based on the same car it would be a pretty quick job to just change some details and have both cars.
Which is why it is better than the car in this thread and should remain as the only Omega of its model generation in the future GT games, IMO.
My point is that instead of PD putting their time adding cars that are similar to each other like this one with the Carlton, they could be adding something completely different like a Jaguar F-Type or a Buick Riviera, for example.

Fair enough, you have your own view on it and I respect it. But I don't think it'd be really a quick job, I mean, how much time would it even take to model the new body kit and interior of the car considering the amount of polygons PS4 games can have in their 3D models? I presume it couldn't be completed in less than a month or perhaps two considering that PD thing of only one person working on one model.
Also, maybe the biggest reason why PD should stick only with the Carlton is because it is easier to continue using, for instance, the Carlton in GT7 because it was already licensed once (I presume long time ago for GT4), so expenses are minimal.
In my opinion I'd rather have the Omega than the Carlton. Bodykits are silly and power is overrated.

Except that a completely different car can't share any assets with other cars. You don't get to pick between one Omega or one F-Type, it's more likely one Omega or a fender from an F-Type (assuming that they're making a premium Carlton anyway).

The interiors are the same, and PD does bodykits for most premium cars anyway, so I don't really see what would require so much work.

I didn't mean completely different in this way, I meant that instead of PD adding a new trim for an already existing car they should be adding a new car model to the game.

Yea me too. But the real matter here is if PD would be willing to get one when they could just not get it and keep expenses minimal, this is something none of us know (unless you are a worker from PD).
Just like Eran004 say's the Carlton has more power and different body kit, and besides of that this was the
predecessor of the Lotus Omega/Carlton without this car the Carlton wouldn't exist. The engine of the Lotus has it's base in this Omegas engine, so I think the Omega 3000 has it's place in the GT-series.
I want both cars, it's like the Toyota GT86, Scion FR-S or the Subaru BRZ the same car but different namnes and slightly different body details
Yep it was sold in the UK as the Vauxhall Carlton and there we have another reason to take the Omega 3000 into the game, the Carlton is right hand drive and the Omega is left hand drive
Posting after 10 years since the last one here... lol.
Now that Opel has returned to the franchise in GT7, with their Corsa Vision GT, I feel like the Opel Omega 3000 would be a great addition to go alongside cars like the Mercedes-Benz 190E, BMW M3 E30, and the Ford Sierra Cosworth that are already in the game. Mainly due to them all being contemporaries in Group A DTM.
Those other cars all exist in the game only as their road versions, but the aero parts you can install for them in GT Auto can turn them into their racing counterparts. I feel that this would be a fitting idea for the Opel Omega too.
Here are a couple of images of the car in its DTM spec, with different aero depending on the year:
Here's a link to the page for the Opel Omega Evo 500, the version of the car that the 2nd image is based on:
Another contemporary of the Group A DTM era which would also be a great addition is the Audi V8 Quattro, which you can find a few suggestion threads on here:
Audi's first large sedan, and the first production Audi to pair Quattro AWD with an automatic transmission (though a 5- or 6-speed manual was available). The car won back-to-back DTM titles in 1990 and '91.
The Audi V8 Quattro DTM is a touring car built by Audi to tackle the 1990-1992 seasons of the Deutsche Touring Masters. This was an unexpected move by Audi, as they were known for AWD Turbo race cars, so BMW and AMG Mercedes did not expect an Audi competitor as Turbo's were, at that time, banned from DTM. To resolve this the base car was the Audi V8 Quattro, a V8 N/A 4-door. This made it a tough competitor to the BMW M3 E30 and the Mercedes Benz 190E. The Audi used a 3.6 N/A V8 producing 420HP in 1990 and upgraded to 460HP in 1992. The car's design was unchanged from the road car for the...
