The flagship is as enticing as ever.

1999 Aurora Review Summary & Specifications

We've always liked the Aurora, and the passage of time hasn't changed our minds. It was a daring step for Oldsmobile when new and is still a class leader. Assembled and finished with uncommon care, well equipped and stylish, it is, as always, one of the better buys among sub-$40,000 performance sedans.

While the Lincoln Continental offers more horsepower and is slightly quicker in a straight line, the Aurora provides superior driving pleasure and clean, contemporary looks.

An ever-increasing number of customers have found Aurora ownership a satisfying experience. When all factors are weighed, the Aurora's enduring appeal could easily add you to that number.
