1996 Oldsmobile Aurora Review

Olds rebuilds its image--from the top.
Walkaround
Sleek and aerodynamic, with windswept lines and sculpted corners, the Aurora is

light years removed from the Delta Eighty Eights and Ninety Eights of yore. The Aurora

looks especially impressive from a three-quarter angle, front or back.

Recessed door handles, monochrome trim, tinted windows and aluminum wheels

announce that Oldsmobile is serious about competing with the upscale European and

Japanese imports. The catlike headlights and low-slung foglights peered out from our

Aurora's silver metallic finish.

And, as with the '95 debut, the '96 Aurora shuns the venerable Oldsmobile

rocket-logo hood decal in favor of an elegant "A" logo--revealing that Oldsmobile is

still taking great pains to distance the Aurora from the more matronly models from the

division's past.

Rearward, the expansive taillights stretch all the way across the trunk lid,

ensuring high visibility after dark. One press on the keyless remote fob pops the

trunk lid open, revealing 16.1 cu. ft. of cargo space. Next Page
