This second-generation Aurora boasts all-new sheet metal. It looks more elegant and more contemporary than the 1994-1999 models, lacking body cladding, tacked on moldings or other frivolous decoration. Yet it maintains the muscular form of the original Aurora, which was widely praised when it was introduced.Part of the elegant new look comes from its trimmer dimensions. The current Aurora is 6 inches shorter than the 1994-1999 models. The smaller, tighter shape gives it a cleaner, more nimble look. Its profile is smooth and fluid with a raked rear window. Rear fog lamps give balance and symmetry to the rear of the car, while enhancing safety. A steep back light and large, wrap-over tail lamps minimize the horizontal length of the deck lid. Instead of a front grille, the designers opted for lower intakes in the bumper to reinforce the Oldsmobile character.
For 2002, chrome exhaust tips replace black tips, and two new exterior colors are available, Granite and Marine Blue. Next Page
