Vehicle Highlights
Oldsmobile's flagship shares its platform with Pontiac Bonneville and Buick LeSabre. Aurora offers V6 and V8 engines with automatic transmission. It seats five, has standard front side airbags, antilock 4-wheel disc brakes, automatic load-leveling, tire-inflation monitor, and General Motors' OnStar assistance system. V8 model includes traction control and Oldsmobile's antiskid Precision Control System; both are optional on V6. Note: Oldsmobile brand is being phased out over the next few years.
COMPETITION
This hotly contested segment has a clear benchmark; it is the Acura TL (and its 2-door cousin Acura CL). The TL succeeds in blending comfort, style, luxury, and sport into an efficient package at an affordable price. If you are leaning more toward the luxury scale, the Lexus ES 300 might be a more practical purchase.
We also recommend the sporty and Euro-flavored Audi A6, the comfortable Buick Park Avenue, the affordable and fast Infiniti I30.
