"Some real zing to start Oldsmobile's next 100 years" That sure didn't age well... Despite its endless faults I really miss my 2000 Intrigue with the 3.5 v6.
Never will forget when I was with my instructor during driver's ed in one of these and the power steering failed. Fortunately, we were going predictably slowly, but it was still unnerving. I still like this generation of Olds; exactly the kind of nondescript prettiness that is so taken for granted these days.
They could probably do some interesting designs with the front fascia, just like how cars today have decorative headlights and the real lights hidden lower in the bumper. I feel like Oldsmobile would have a retro-futuristic vibe
I rented one of these in 2000. I really liked it and was quite impressed with the car. I would have considered buying one, but I didn't need to buy a new car at the time. I thought it was a great effort that ultimately would have saved the Oldsmobile brand if they had been around a little longer. I was sadly surprised when at the end of that year, it was announced that the Oldsmobile brand was going to be dropped by 2004. Too bad they did not come out with this prior to the Aurora - this sold in larger numbers. A LOT changed in a short period of time in the 1990s in the car industry.
I had a 2002 Oldsmobile intrugue with the 3.5 v6 and the factory Bose stereo system and sun roof, I miss that car, I want another just to daily, plenty of low end power!
if only GM gave Oldsmobile more time and money.. this was a great effort and very European/Japanese in style and features.. But the Olds ship was already sinking at this point
I can't believe they got rid of Pontiac. You still see old Pontiacs all over the road, so I can deduce that it it was one of the most durable models and besides, they could have had a new Firebird. It's all about money, GMC is just a macho name for the same products made by Chevrolet.
GM should’ve dumped Chevrolet and kept Oldsmobile. Olds always built a much nicer car. If I remember correctly I think the Intrigue was the last Olds my Grandfather ever bought. Before this he always bought 88’s. He loved his Oldsmobiles
Your crazy! Dump Chevy? You know how many trucks and suvs Chevy sales? A whole bunch!! As matter of fact it’s what they probably sell the most off….if anything they should have dumped Buick and kept Oldsmobile or Pontiac instead….
Now i really want this car, especially since the backseat is big enough for 3 adults. But I already have a car so i shouldn't. I would like to know if these cars don't rust in the salt belt because that's the only bad thing i sense from American cars (and Japanese), that i see a few with rust issues.
That car was the only real front wheel drive cutlass supreme, it and the Alero could have helped in Oldsmobiles future luxury cars, but GM brass wouldn't have it.

I really felt that this was grossly underrated
Not with that crappy ass 3.5l, guess it was the later years that got the 3.5

I had the twin to this car, 3.8 engine with 326,000 miles on it.. I should have never sold it.
Grand Prix?
The 3.8L 198HP engine was powerful enough an advanced suspension made hugging curves at high speed really fun
I love this Olds Intrigue, solid and confortable car
I can remember my family having a white Intrigue as a rental on a trip in late 1999.

I always liked the most Olds from this Gen
Very beautiful and great car
Most intrigues had the 3.5 Northstar with 215 hp
This car was really good. They were great with the 3800.
I want to see a review on a Oldsmobile LSS with the 3800 Supercharged engine
I have a 2000 model GLS . And i love it.
This was the front wheel drive cutlass supreme.❤

@@SubieandFriends Nope Buick is big in China
I would have to agree dumping Chevy really I have a Chevrolet impala and I love my car.
I remembered these had almost a 5k rebates at one time almost bought one , very nice car basically a grand prix gt which outsold it 9 to 1

Wanted one of these.

Oldsmobile would've made it if General Misdirection would've given it time. Instead Cadillac now occupies that place.
GM should've used the 3800 in more cars.
If they kept the name cutlass Supreme it prob would of sold more
The intrigue was a nightmare. Terrible cars, terrible electronics, everything broke.
Gm junk
My 98 intrigue is running good for its age at 174k miles, no problems except for regular maintenance
WTH is this music
90s..
