2001 Aurora |
 Whats new for '01:Aurora was all new and went on sale in early 2000. The new car was smaller on the outside with less agressive styling aimed at attracting more women buyers. Interior space actually increased, though trunk space dipped slightly. The interior now featured real wood trim and a new gated shifter. A V6 became the standard engine for the first time. For the proper 2001 model year, Ivory White replaced Bright White and Frosted Mint was renamed Silvered Sage.

| Biggest News: Aurora was now Oldsmobile's only full size car. There was a new V6 version along with a lower price to cover some of the market lost by the Eighty-Eight and LSS. Projected sales were in the 40,000-50,000 range. More than double of its predecessor. |
