I guess fuel will be much the same as each other. The Toyota may be a little less if you are an aggressive driver.
As for overall build quality, the Toyota wins hands down. Forget all the bogan Aussie Ford and Holden fan nonsense, about the Aussie cars being the best.

If its Omega vs Aurion, then the Aurion wins hand down. If you are looking at something like a SV6 or Calais etc then it would be a bit more close. But still the Aurion is a better car, based on reviews. Have you considered a FG G6/G6E/XR6 as well!

Except that regardless of what it's being compared to, most reviews completely pan the handling, the power delivery, the fact's it's FWD only.other than that it's great. Personally I'd say if you like the style, save some dosh and get a sportivo.

Thread poster you do not state how you will the car. The omegahas the balloon tyres which might cope with potholes better than the Toyota. A country pack omega with a sump guard would be preferable if the vehicle is used in out of the way places. The toyota had a u660e gearbox, toyota now has about 15 percent of the Aus large car market and hope to build on this.

Mine does about 500 -550km per tank around town, I dont know how much in litres about $120 to fill with 95 thats all short trips. on the open road it drasticly improves its economy by alot. It is not noticibly more expensive than any other vehicle I've had. I'm 6'5 and found as soon as i started drtiving it my sore back got better from not being crunched up.(your 6'6husband will love it)

Yeah I would look at the Toyota - build quality is much better on the Toyota and the Omega is a really budget car compared to it

Toyota and the VE's of that age have weak timing chains, say $3000 to repair.

That sounds good at 180000 km

The Toyota didn't have that issue. Only the pre-2008 VE had that issue, and Holden fixed it from 2008 onwards by putting in a 9mm timing chain.
