The Oldsmobile 
By: Kathy Austin
For more than a century since its inception in 1897 until 2004, Oldsmobile is still continually manufactured by General Motors. This could be considered as the oldest continuing vehicle in the world next to Daimler and Peugeot. This respected car ceased to be reproduced in 2004 with its last three models the Alero, the Silhouette, and the Bravada.
All the three cars took driving into an entirely new level of experience as they had been doing so for more than a century. They all had a neat sculpted look and the embellishments that came along with made these vehicles seem as if they were built especially for the person who is driving it.
With its finest quality, one could enjoy the comfort, convenience, entertainment, safety, and security while riding it. Road and Track has called it attention for being delightfully well-balanced and nimble character. It was also taunted as the "Downright World Class" by Car and Driver for its Alero version. A highlight for the Silhouette is the refined power. With Bravada, its explosive mix of raw horsepower is also an attraction.
With exception to Sillhouette, these are all powered by a 3400 SFI V6 Engine that can give a 185 hp at 5,200 rpm and 210 lb.-ft. of torque at 4,000 rpml. The Alero and the Bravada are fitted with a 2.2 lt. DOHC engine with 140 hp. or a 3.4 lt. V6 with a full 170 hp and a 275 hp. Vortec 4200 DOHC incline 6 Cylinder engine respectively. One would expect them to deliver a very excellent performance.
Safety is also given some attention to Oldsmobile cars. For this reason, all of them include the mandated safety equipment like air bags, both side and front side. Anti-lock braking system is also a default in all of its models. . The Alero and the Silhouette has the LATCH system for improved child safety. The Silhouette and the Alero also include with safety measures such as Battery Run-Down Protection which automatically switches off the headlights after 10 mins., in case one ignored to switch it off.
The inclusion of Key-Less Entry is found in all three models. One can open the doors even when away of 30 m. With its panic button, one can easily blow the horn and flash the parking lights when activated. To be able to be spotted easily, all the models have a daytime running lamp.
All the three automobiles come with exceptional audio equipment to make your travel a pleasant experience. The Silhouette even has a DVD player with wireless remote, a 6.8-inch video screen, on-screen programming and normal, wide, cinema, and zoom settings, stereo RCA jacks with inputs for video game systems and camcorders and 2 pairs of wireless headphones with separate volume controls.
The Oldsmobile Keychains come in an octet. They comprise of the Teardrop, the Steering Wheel, the Valet, the Chrome Circle, the Metal Oval, the Leather Gold, the Leather Silver and the Chrome Rectangle. The Chrome Rectangle is a novel addition, small and attractive. All of them have the distinct emblem of the car and its name blazoned on it.
