Yes, my thoughts are going in this direction. At the time Vauxhall is the favourite, because it's a different brand (though only different badges).
My wife has suggested the Signum, too, but I'd rather prefer a Vectra Hatchback or Estate. A time ago I took a seat in a Signum and was disappointed about the little space inside. My Omega is bigger inside. And this is important for mee, too: I want to have space around my bones, not sitting in a fish-tin.
About the bigger Peugeot's I've also thought, as they are really common in the UK, more than in Germany. Renault is not included, due their unreliability. Anyways: the ADAC-breakdown-statistics has said, that, since the Scorpio has disappeared, the Omega was the most unreliable car in the premium class, especially the 1999/2000 MYS and especially the Diesel. I cannot confirm that.
Citroen hasn't a good reputation with that either. Otherwise my wife's uncle is a Citroen-driver since 30 years, at first a CX, then a XM and now a C5. Without any defects and breakdowns, he says.
Japanese cars aren't really fascinating for me, I wouldn't spend so much money for them. Your tip with the Cadillac is nice, but it's more than unlikely, that I would ever find any interest in any newer US-car. The only ones, I would maybe think about, are a 1974 Dodge Monaco in Illinois-police-trim or a 1968 Charger R/T. Everything else American is far out of question.
