Close
With the exception of the pre-facelift Mk.1 cars, most Carltons were manufactured by Opel in Rüsselsheim, and differed only from their Opel Rekord/Omega sisters in badging and trim.
It was replaced by the Omega B in 1994, mirroring the standardisation of model names across both GM Europe brands.
