Vehicle Highlights
Oldsmobile replaced the Calais with a model it called Achieva--sharing the same front-drive, 103.4-inch-wheelbase platform as the Buick Skylark and Pontiac Grand Am. Achieva was offered in four levels: S and SL in both 2- and 4-door models, plus sporty SC and SCX coupes. Standard on the S was a 120-horsepower 2.3-liter OHC 4-cylinder. Optional for the S and standard on the SL was a 160-horsepower four. Optional on SL was a 160-horsepower 3.3-liter V6. The SC coupe had a High Output 180-horsepower four, paired with a 5-speed manual. A 3-speed automatic was provided as an optional gearbox for both the 160-horsepower four and the V6. All Achievas featured standard antilock brakes.
