Oldsmobile Aurora
The Aurora was initially introduced as a concept car to the public in the early 1990s. The response of the public was so positive that the car was put into production for the 1995 model year. The Aurora was everything you’d expect a high-performance sports sedan to be. The power plant was the same Northstar V8 found in the STS model (via Cars).
The Aurora was the last ditch effort to try and invigorate the Oldsmobile brand, and unfortunately, it wasn’t enough. The first generation of the car was one of the greatest creations GM ever built, but by the second generation, it just wasn’t unique anymore.
