Since my 1995 Grand Am GT's tranny went at 145K miles... I decided to look into getting a new car. It took over a month, but I finally got one! Its a 1995 Oldsmobile Aurora. 4.0L V8. 250hp 260ftlbs of torque. All power, leather, sun/moonroof. 75K miles, for $4000. The only bad thing was, the guy who sold it took off the X-rated tires and put on some that are rated up to 95 mph. minor though. I will post up some pics when I can get a better camera.

And, proof its an Autobahn!

The Autobahn option only applies to classic Auroras and it was a factory option that included Michelin tires with a V speed rating instead of a standard S rating, and a 3.71 transaxle final ratio instead of the standard 3.48. What they didn't advertise - and the reason why many people ask if they have the option - is that these two changes allowed the engineers at Oldsmobile to increase the speed limiter from 110 mph in the non-Autobahn car up to 135-140 mph in the Autobahn equipped car. In addition to a greater maximum speed the optional transaxle ratio also gives quicker acceleration (and poorer fuel economy).
