Oldsmobile Intrigue Overview

The Oldsmobile Intrigue combines a responsive V6 engine with sophisticated styling and an elegant interior. This midsize sedan is stable at high speeds, agile on winding roads, with good grip. Its rigid structure delivers a smooth ride and good handling.

The Intrigue's twin-cam V6 delivers lots of power for quick passing on two-lane roads. The Intrigue seats four people comfortably, or its rear seats can be folded down to make room for a lot of luggage. For 2002, new upper and lower anchor tethers have been added for child safety seats. The Intrigue's interior is handsome, and GL and GLS models feature well-designed climate controls. . GLS comes standard with tasteful leather, this year with a new two-tone treatment.

Overall, the driving experience is more European in flavor than other midsize domestic sedans. It is arguably the best of the General Motors sedans in this class. The Intrigue is an enjoyable car, easy to live with, and it holds its own against such popular mid-size imports as the V6-powered versions of the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord. It offers more character and is lighter on its feet than a Ford Taurus.
