Oldsmobile Omega (X-car). 1980–4 (prod. 466,622). 2- and 4-door sedan. F/F, 2474 cm³ (I4 OHV), 2836 cm³ (V6 OHV). Corporate version of the X-car, related to Chevrolet Citation, Pontiac Phoenix (1980–4), and Buick Skylark (1980–5). Strong start, because of downsized format and modern styling, but suffered the same fate as its sister cars: recalls damaged the Omega’s reputation, and saw to the end of the nameplate.
