Year to Year Changes
1993 Buick Skylark:
Adjustable Ride Control dropped to an option, as Gran Sports adopted a Gran Touring suspension. A stripped entry-level model joined the line, along with a midlevel Limited--equivalent to the '92 base model. Gran Sport coupes and sedans again topped the line. The base Quad OHC engine lost 5 horsepower. New features included a child-height anchor for the rear shoulder belt.
1994 Buick Skylark:
A 3.1-liter V6 replaced the 3.3-liter, as Skylarks added a driver-side airbag and optional 4-speed automatic transmission.
1995 Buick Skylark:
Skylarks got a new Quad 4 base engine with plenty of zest: 150 horsepower, to be precise. A new tubular rear axle put springs and shock absorbers on the same line as the back wheels. Automatic-transmission fluid now was supposed to last 100,000 miles.
1996 Buick Skylark:
A passenger-side airbag arrived for 1996, along with toned-down styling and a larger Twin Cam base engine. This latest version gained a new grille, hood, and headlamps, resulting in an appearance more closely related to other Buick models. The dashboard had a more traditional layout than the prior one, which had been criticized for oddly placed gauges and controls.
1997 Buick Skylark:
Given the extensive modifications made last year, the 1997 Skylark returns with few changes for its final season.
