The 1995
Aurora seemed to herald a new direction at
Oldsmobile, with more innovative style, more European driving dynamics, and very little of the tired old this is the way we've always done it attitude. When the mid-size
Intrigue replaced the hoary old
Cutlass a few years later, it was clear that the essence of Aurora was permeating the whole fleet. Intrigue even looked like a little Aurora.
Intrigue is not just smooth and comfortable, attractive and expressive; it is arguably the best of the General Motors sedans in this class. More importantly, it is an enjoyable car, and more than capable of holding its own against such mighty mid-size imports as the Toyota Camry V6.
Intrigue's own twin-cam V6 delivers lots of power for quick passes on two-lane roads. The Intrigue provides quick, accurate steering, agile handling, excellent high-speed stability and a nice ride quality on bumpy roads. A handsome interior, available in tasteful leather, features well-designed climate controls. The Intrigue seats four people comfortably, or its rear seats can be folded down to make room for a lot of luggage.
