Correct!!! :) And the 3.0V6 turbo in the 9-5 is for the first time less powerful than the non-turbo 3.0V6 in the Omega. 200 bhp against 210 in the Vaux Omega. The turbo is used this time purely generate a fatter torque curve and possibly higher efficiency. Presumably 200 bhp is sufficient for this type of car.
