Vehicle Highlights
Buick redesigned its front-drive compact for 1992, with striking "new age" styling. Wheelbase was the same as before, but overall length grew by 9 inches. Oldsmobile's Achieva and Pontiac's Grand Am, on the same platform, look totally different. Base and Gran Sport (GS) editions came in 2- and 4-door sedan body styles. Base models got a Quad OHC 2.3-liter 4-cylinder engine; Gran Sports, a 3.3-liter V6. All Skylarks had antilock brakes, power door locks, and a split folding rear seat. Instead of an airbag, Skylarks had GM's door-mounted front seatbelts, which could be left buckled for automatic deployment.
