Because they're good cars you idiot. I take it you've never driven a 2002 Intrigue. 215 hp, 230 lbs.-ft of torque in a 3300 lb car means fast. And then mix that in with exceptional handling and luxury at a great price and you get one fine automobile.

I wouldn't worry much about about the original creator of this thread... It was some tosser with nothing better to do than ruffle some feathers. I guess it's a good think I had nothing to do but clean up after him! Anyway, I have been "intruiged" since I first saw the vehicle. For a sizable family sedan, it's very attractive.

Yup, some people have too much free time, anyway.........I think the old Aurora is too wierd for my liking, but the new ones are very nice looking cars (Though I believe most think the other way around :finger: )

History is an inseparable part of the Oldsmobile tradition.
The 1966 Toronado was the first big-ass, tire-smokin' front-wheel drive. Yes, I know there was the Cord back in the 30s, but they tore up so often, it was hard to go on a long trip.
The vast majority of cars on the road today are front-wheel drive. They owe everything to the first successful front-wheel-drive luxury hotrod...the Toronado!

Re: Why do u guys drive Olds.

the '66' Toronado is sweet I'd love to get me hands on one.
The classic Aurora's Design lines were derived from the '66' Toronado

Re: Why do u guys drive Olds.

I prefer something a little smaller... like mine!
1973 Olds Omega
350 Rocket
Turbo 350 tranny
Edelbrock intake
Edelbrock 750 carb
Lunati 3/4 roller cam
Crower Crank and rods
Wiseman flat top pistons
Hooker super comp headers
flowmaster 3" single chamber mufflers

All in a hatchback coupe!
Talk about all kinds of fun! And something you rarely see... when was the last time you saw an Omega hatchback?

Why do I drive an Olds? BECAUSE THEY'RE EXCELLENT CARS!! I have
been with Olds since 1961, and have owned 4 of them within that
time, and one of them, a 1972 442 W-25, lasted 29 years! My current
Olds, a 2001 Aurora 4.0, turned out to be a MUCH faster runner than
I had expected, so I am very pleased with it!
General Motors is out of its f****** mind for cutting Olds!!!

The number one reason we drive Olds is: Oldsmobile has proven to the world that their cars, though fading away here soon will be around for a very long time. The most exciting, reliable pieces of machinery ever built. Even look around at the 80's Cutlass', compare them to the 80's Regals and Montes, the Cutlass still holds a greater value out there. - Has anyone ever realized that there are Corvette clubs, Mustang clubs, even the Good Guys club...... But none of the other clubs compare to the OLDSMOBILE CLUB OF AMERICA! One Club for all models of Oldsmobile, just Oldsmobile, and any Oldsmobile, willing to help eachother out any day, and just get together with their state club for a small or large show on a nice sun shining day. I don't just drive Oldsmobile's I live Oldsmobiles. I own a 69 H/O, 67 442, 92 SCX, and 95 LSS... I think a Bravada is soon to come.......

Re: Why do u guys drive Olds.

I drive Oldsmobiles because I think they are a great value, I have 2 Achievas and love them both, great cars that I picked up dirt cheap. Once the new Auroras start to drop into my price range, I will be upgrading to one.
