Yes but it was a phony one, the bravada should've had a Buick or Pontiac badge instead and maybe then it would've been a success, maybe this is exactly why Oldsmobile went under by 2004. The Oldsmobile bravada is probably the worst suv error and fail in history
@@anthony_rivera4735 I mean the Oldsmobile bravada went for over a decade, even after the Escalade took shape. And technically it did eventually have a Buick badge when the Buick Rainier came about.
@@antwanmcclain8909 yes but I actually like the Buick rainier 2004-2007, though it was only meant to be a temporary model especially because they had recently begun development of the three-row enclave which came around the 2008/2009 model year, sadly Pontiac never got one. Saab also had their own version of the 3rd generation bravada from 2005-2008 to compete with the 1st generation Acura MDX, 1st generation BMW X5 and more
I completely forgot about the Bravada. I always wanted one of these so bad as a kid. The body kit and wheels really did make this stand out in person vs the Blazer
This is honestly the best looking one of the 3. And ive had a few Blazers.. never a GMC.. GMC is the least desirable here IMHO, THIS ONE the most.. if you can forgive the AWD. 91-94 are the most handsome. SyTy has two doors.....
My fiance and i have a 2000 oldsmobile bravada are key is stuck in starter the pipes are frozen and the radiator is leaking water. And we cant get the car to start. Can some one up here can help us get are car working. We live in rileyville, va and we got alot of snow
Imagine if Cadillac had used a proven platform for the Cimmaron like Oldsmobile did for the Bravada instead of flushing what was left of their reputation down the toilet with a heavily flawed first-year Cavalier
Executives seem to so often have little long-range vision. They probably figure it doesn't matter much what happens when they're no longer there. The Cimmaron wasn't horrible by the time it vanished in 87-88m but it wasn't a Cadillac either. The tiny 4 cyl in the first couple years was a comical mistake.
At the time of the Cimarron being conceived, GM was in a tough period financially, leaving little budget for anything better than what became of the car.
When was the last time you actually saw a first generation Bravada on the street? For me it six years ago and it was black one and she was a beauty, the owner took really good care of it, after that I haven't seen another one since then.
I haven't seen one in a long time either. A very rare sight. I still see the occasional second-gen though... those look awful. I also see a third-gen once in a blue moon, but I don't think as many people bought those as they did the Buick version (Rainier I think?).
I own one! I love it. Drives awesome and engine is beastly, no problems with it whatsoever. Can’t say the same for some of the electrical gadgets but I love mine.
Stronger head bolts, a turbo and tune, you'd have yourself a Typhoon.
I always considered this to be the Cadillac Escalade of the early 90s. Since technically it was GM's luxury SUV back then.
Always loved Chevy's for their plusher ride and smoother running, and Olds and Cadillacs were even more so.

@@anthony_rivera4735 making a Pontiac version would've been overkill in my opinion.

I never knew they made a square bodied bravada. Thats awesome!
Very beautiful this Oldsmobile Bravada wowwwww
If I ever make the jump to an SUV I'm gonna look for one of these.
R.I.P Oldsmobile. 😢
Blame it entirely on the bravada
I love this Olds Bravada, beautiful SUV and comfortable
Had one. Very dependable. Trouble free.
I didn't even know there was a bravada of this generation
My first car I kept it nearly 12 years. Thing climbed rough terrain like a mountain goat. Wouldn't win any flat land races. But decent mpg.
It needs wood trim, makes it looks more luxurious
The Buick Encore of its day. A half assed reaction to market forces.
An S-10 Blazer by any other name...........
...albeit in a nice suit.

The sound of that crappy plastic cup holder
The whole dash was make from cheap, hard, hollow gray plastic. What a joke

Mr. regular said this was the worst car he ever drove. I feel like everyone had a blazer sport on the show cops. 2 door blazers=meth possession
You can't afford an escalade so you get a bravada

Yes you are correct, the Buick version was called the Rainer.

I’m buying a mint condition one tomorrow. I’m located in tallahassee Florida if you’re interested in purchasing it lmk!
No I'm good with my Crown Vic, she's a beauty also, I take really good care it. No rust at all.
I love to have the thing
Good report, but that appearance certainly didn't age well.
GARBAGE
Like your Prius
It’s trash yes
