why stick N-Body forums in the cutlass series?

[Tonglebeak]

Might as well create a-body and g-body forums as well...

It's stupid to put this in here and doesn't make any sense.

A platform (commonly called A-body) was a mid-size car automobile platform.
The A-bodies evolved from rear wheel drive compact cars to front wheel drive mid-size cars over the last 35 years.
The switch in drive layout in 1982 spawned the G-body.
In the end, every A-body car line was cancelled, but new nameplates on the GM Epsilon platform have taken their place.

The G platform (also called G-body) was used for GM mid-size cars such as Buick Regal and Chevrolet Malibu.
This automobile platform letter was used twice.
The current G-bodies use the front wheel drive version.

These were a few G-bodies...
Buick Grand National (1982, 1984-1987)
Buick Regal (1982-1987)
Chevrolet El Camino (1982-1987) note: ~200 unsold 1987s reportedly sold as 1988s; unclear if this included GMC Caballeros as well
Chevrolet Malibu (1982-1983)
Chevrolet Monte Carlo (1982-1988)
GMC Caballero (1982-1987)
Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme (1982-1988) note: 1988 model known as Cutlass Supreme Classic
Oldsmobile Cutlass Calais (1982-1985)
Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser (1982-1984)
Oldsmobile Cutlass Salon (1986-1987)
Pontiac Bonneville (1984-1986)
Pontiac Grand Prix (1982-1987)
Pontiac Grand LeMans (1982-1983)

Oh ya, cant forget Performance applications include:

1982-1982 Buick Regal Sport Coupe 3.8 L (231 in³) V6 Turbo
1982-1987 Chevrolet El Camino SS 5.0 L (305 in³)/5.7L (350 in³) V8
1983-1984 Oldsmobile Hurst/Olds 5.0 L (307 in³) HO V8
There is also speculation that 3 Hurst/Olds editions were made using 1988 Cutlass Supreme Classic bodies. These were not marketed through GM though. There was also a Hurst/Olds body kit available in 1988.
1983-1988 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS 5.0 L (305 in³) HO V8
1983-1986 Buick Regal T-Type 3.8 L (231 in³) V6 Turbo
1982, 1984-1987 Buick Grand National 3.8 L (231 in³) V6 Turbo

1986-1987 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS Aerocoupe 5.0 L (305 in³) HO V8
1986.5 Pontiac Grand Prix 2+2 5.0 L (305 in³) V8
The 1986.5 Grand Prix 2+2 cosmetic features which included a NASCAR qualifying nose-cone was also available through GM for installation on any 1981-1987 Grand Prix. There were 17 Grand Prix GTs offered by Mertyle Motors in New York which offered a slightly different look and had some performance tuning in 1986.
1987 Buick Regal T Turbo 3.8 L (231 in³) V6 Turbo
1987 Buick Regal T (307 in³)
1987 Buick Regal many base and Limited models featured the 3.8 L (231 in³) V6 Turbo
1987 Buick GNX 3.8 L (231 in³) V6 Turbo
The 1987 GNX was made in conjunction with ASC/McLaren and 547 were made and included a unique suspension system, featured fender flares, had Stewart-Warner gauges, and a net power of 276 hp (206 kW), above the 245 hp (183 kW) of the regular Grand National. There are many more features that set the GNX apart and are too many to list.
models not on list born before G-body classification of 1982 were:

1978-1981 Chevrolet Malibu F41
1980-1980 Chevrolet Malibu M80
1978-1981 Pontiac LeMans GT (possibly Canadian only)
1978-1980 Oldsmobile 442
1979-1979 Oldsmobile Hurst/Olds

IMO it Seems just fine ........

We decided to put the N Body forums at Olds Cutlass because they were the original N Body cars. For example the later model Cutlass and Achieva. We could have put it at Pontiac Grand Am or Olds Alero but decided not to. However, if you note the N Body forums and links to are displayed at Grand Am, Alero and Achieva.

There were plans to do other GM cars based on body classification but that has been put on the back burner.

The use of the N Body forums is optional but primarily intended to help AF members that own GM N body cars and share in problem resolution. In some forums questions/issues were going unanswered.

Also, other GM cars like the "F" bodies Camaro and Firebird share common forums.
