Such a fun car. #2 to the Cutlass / 442, IMO.

98? my parents had the same car, but in some metallic green colour that actually looked quite sharp.

I wish. Its a 95, the first year they were produced. Fortunately, its the Autobahn version.

Bah, I know two people who have owned/own an Olds Aurora. My Mom-In-Law had one for a couple years and got rid of it with 36k miles because she kept having problems with it. My best friend's Dad has one and had to have the engine replaced at 60k miles.

Well, I've got 134,000 on it, and its running great. The only major part that has been replaced is the A/C unit.

I had an 89 Cutlas Calais. POS 4 banger. The quad4 had to be the worst engine GM ever made.

hmmm ... my mom has a 98 Intrigue, its a decent car, though I love my 300m a hellova lot more.

I didn't like Olds... had several friends that owned Oldsmobiles, and they were continually breaking down.

Buick, on the other hand, I've never had a problem with. My biological parents, grandmother, adopted parents, and most of the extended family, has always driven Buick... whatever their 'sportier' model was at the time.

I don't like a lot of their cars, but the Regal absolutely rocks.
