OLDSMOBILE BRAVADA
It’s ironic that the last all-new Oldsmobile is a truck and a good one at that. Launched as a 2002 model, the Bravada shares its chassis and 4.2-liter DOHC 24-valve straight-six engine with the Chevy TrailBlazer and GMC Envoy. But the Bravada has its own look and offers some things the others don’t. Examples: a smooth all-wheel-drive system and an electronically controlled air suspension (both optional). Other standards include power leather front seats, automatic climate control, wood trim, and a steeper base price. The Bravada does get some 2003 updates—a coil-spring suspension option on all-wheel-drive models, standard traction assist on two-wheel-drive models, and a DVD entertainment system. However, with Oldsmobile’s demise not far off, it won’t get the long-wheelbase option now available in the Chevy and GMC versions.
