The Achieva replaced the Cutlass Calais during its final model year in 1991, which was also on the GM N platform. The Achieva was available as a sedan and a coupe. It also had 4 trim levels; S, SC, SL, and SCX. The SCX was a high performance version of the SC. It came equipped with the highest output naturally aspirated four cylinder engine GM has ever produced, the W41. This engine was complimented by a specially built Getrag 5-speed with a special differential that transferred torque to the wheel with the most traction. The engines available were the high output version of the 2.3 L Quad 4 (LGO), low output version of the Quad 4 2.3 L Quad 4 (LD2) and the 3.1 L V6. The Achieva was last sold to dealerships in 1997, with leftover '97 sedans being sold to rental fleets for 1998, until being replaced by the Alero in 1999.http://ratinghq.com/3-308/oldsmobile-achieva-90-s-model.html2008-07-21 11:24:12The Oldsmobile Alero was introduced in spring 1998 as a 1999 model to replace the Achieva and Cutlass.

It was the first truck-based vehicle offered by Oldsmobile since the 1920s, and by that time was a United States-only vehicle. Unlike its siblings, the Bravada was only offered with "Smart Trak" all-wheel drive, leather upholstery, power equipment, and the 4.3 L Z-code engine. At the heart of Smart Trak system was the Borg Warner 4472 transfer case, offering 65% rear and 35% front torque with more to the front when it slips. Anti-lock brakes and remote keyless entry were also standard. The 4.3 L engine got a horsepower boost to 200 for 1992. Also for '92, the Bravada's instrument panel was slightly modified to differ from its siblings. 1993 saw the addition of an overhead console with compass, temperature, and reading lights. An optional Gold package with gold exterior badging and special gold aluminum wheels was also new for '93. This version was produced through 1994.http://ratinghq.com/3-311/oldsmobile-bravada-1990-s.html2008-07-21 11:32:52
