These may or may not reach 100 mph in central Indiana.

As a 5'5" man I want you to know that I hope you are uncomfortable as hell in that sports car. Have a great day!

Miata is so much better than both the Sky and Solstice and it actually offers trunk space for a body (midget)😹

Volvo had an S80 V8 with 315 hp in the late noughties when I'm not totally wrong...

I had a 2002 S80 T6. And loved it. I have a 2008 S80 T6 now. And love it too. About to get a 2019 or 2020 S90 T8 is next on my list.

Such an amazing car ruined by a horrible transmission.

singed my butt many a time on those GM seatbelt buckles

You have to drive SMG like a manual. Let off with the accelerator during changes. You wouldn’t drive a manual without letting off

i have one from 2005 with 210 hp and I love that car. My dream is to buy a Porsche when I have more money, but then I know I will miss the comfort of the driver seat. Your review is quite on point, but I have actually never used the crotch pocket. Mostly because my phone can't be charged there and Im driving alone anyway.

These are very good cars and were very good cars when new. There are not "grandpa" cars. You have been radicalized by your teachers. Think for yourself, not what the progressives have told you to think.

That Oldsmobile was when General Motors was General Motors. Today's GM stands for General Mechanic. A real car!!! Not today's plastic fantastic car's or SUVs... That car was built to last....

Says "I'm not going to talk about the Land Rover or the BMW anymore." Spends 10 minutes talking about the Land Rover and the BMW.

This exact colour was my grandfather’s last car

Cute!

All of the money spent building modern luxury cars is toward technology instead of comfort. They assume we want to spend more money on the tech instead of cushion and tufting and floaty suspension… or eeeeeasy fluid-like steering. A few years ago Lincoln even removed all of the buttons for a “minimalist” approach. They’re all so bland now. Buick is dying because they lost their way and their designs are plain and blah. I think the automotive industry would make a huge comeback if they would introduce vintage luxury comfort like hood ornaments, chrome, Cushion, tufting, color rich carpets and seats, and burl wood interior accents. Now it’s all a matte black interior with nothing to look at.

Excellent presentation! GM cars really went downhill with the 1980s wholesale changeover to FWD. Between various engineering requirements to meet safety and fuel standards, Roger Smith becoming CEO had the company move its C-suite focus away from cars and on acquisitions, like Ross Perot's EDS and Hughes. The new FWD cars just seemed tinny and were riding the legacy of GM's glory years or say, the 1960s. Oddly being from a GM family and more interested in Olds than Buick, I remember the first 1991 Park Avenue I ever saw on the highway around Springfield, Illinois, circa August 1990. I can't recall when I first saw the comparable 98. GM was seeing the fruits of addressing the ridicule of badge engineering that was on a Fortune magazine cover depicting four A-body cars, and a 1985 Lincoln Town Car commercial where the valets and car onwers were all confusing Cadillacs, Buicks,.and Oldsmobiles. I really appreciate the approach taken in this video in that it is presented matter-of-factly, sharing some likes and dislikes as personal preferences rather than some pompous critique. Colors became seriously limited through the 1980s and 1990s because Japanese car companies like Honda were using a "KISS" (keep it simple, stupid) method of a smaller color pallet to simplify assembly, and mitigate any quality problems at the factory. It was easier to have a choice of two colors, or maybe not even a choice! That compares to the 1960s where certain American cars sold in volumes in the 100,000s, and it was possible that not one would be the same because of the combination of options available. The single color looks a bit stark these days with nothing to interrupt all the blue, other than the faux wood trim. I actually think this wood trim looks ok as it is a thick piece of plastic mimicking a section of wood rather than some vinyl design epoxyed to the dash. It won't be mistaken for a Rolls-Royce interior, but it works. Great presentation that was a refresher to me, and possibly a history lesson for people born the year this car was manufactured.

I'm very glad you found this car and appreciate it so much! My '73 Marquis Brougham has that same automatic rear self-leveling system and the cornering lights, as did a '99 Grand Marquis I had. Keep it going and enjoy it!

Perhaps my most unpopular opinion of all time is that THIS is the BEST looking car of the 1990s. Really. This car. I dont know why but i think these are BEAUTIFUL. Every time i see one in public i just stare at them... All yours needs is some thin stripe white walls!

Awesome, I had a 92 98.

Excellent.

Cool.

Nice.

Great car and great review

My great uncle had one of these in the 90s. Very fond memories riding in that leather interior with the (gasp) power passenger seats!

I love these Panther platform cars, i have owned couple of these over the years . My last one was a 2001 Grand Marquis which lasted me a long time .

I still own and drive a 81 Oldsmobile Delta 88 sedan , i love driving the Olds i grew with these land barges it's a totally different experience compared to today's crossovers. 😊

THAT Was immensely entertaining 👌🏽 Would love to see more of Michael's antics 😂 But I have to admit, that Roadmaster stole the show....anyway like I said more antics please and thank you ✌🏽

you're very hot!

I have a white Roadmaster.

I just bought a white one of these. Great looking cars. 👍

My 1988 35th Anniversary is #1127. Thank you, buddy. 🤍🤍🤍

The Roadmaster you will fall in love with.Power and comfort to spare.Still relatively easy to work on and parts are available.Dont let the mileage bother you too much.

That car has a lot of features my 1984 Cadillac eldorado had. I had an entire digital dash tho with the digital fuel economy gauge and ac controls. GM did a good job on comforts of Thier cars even as far back as the early 80s or further back

You can put new shocks in the front of that buick for like $200

I miss mine, should have kept it.

I think the official name of the color is “cocaine white”.

Fake Lincoln

Love the car but this dorky kid is a damn know-nothing fool.

Buick ! yes!

Great video. I recall these cars well. Although they may have been "good" cars, quite frankly, I did not care for the styling at all - either then or now; they turned my head but in the opposite direction. At that time, the Acura Legend, Lexus LS 400, and Infiniti Q45 were the cars to aspire to.

I had a red 95 Cadillac Fleetwood with the same frame. It had the 5.7 V8 and it was the softest, most beautiful car ever. We should be demanding the standard of luxury these had, it was bang for your buck.

Shouldn’t we all be demanding this standard of comfort in our modern cars that are 3 or 4 times as much ? It seems like the technology ruined our quality.

i wanted one of these, had the Delta 88 and a Buick , not my favorite or the best model year but the 3.8 engine was very reliable

It’s a pretty car but unfortunately it’s a GM product. After my experience with a very sour 1985 Cutlass lemon, I haven’t have a GM product since. My son had a horribly expensive 2020 Silverado that was equally as bad. No more GM junk in this family.

Oldsmobile, my favourite modern times american brand, closed for the too american styled cars, but this thing is amazing

Speedrunning heat stroke

Go to another shop. It doesnt have struts in the front. It has coil springs with upper snd lower control arms, basically the same as 91-96 Chevrolet Caprice.

This is such an awesome car. The front bench seat especially is a great feature that I think a lot of people would be happy to have on modern cars today. I wish I saw more of these around.

I currently have a 1990 olds 98

23:15 Ho nooo please don't run it into the ground. It might be a cheap beater, but there are so few remaining. It' s not as simple as a pre 80's car, but we need to keep the soft riding easy to fix cars, as we can't build them by ourself and they won't come back as " available brand new at your dealer ". This is what makes them so valuable.
