history and one of the very first with the VIC (Visual Information Center) display touch screen that

Loaded.

Recliner, Power trunk lid release, Front and rear floor mats, Pulse

digital engine gauges. Also provides a graphical display of all
warnings
regarding the car such as low fuel, hot engine, or even door ajar. The entire system can be converted between English and metric systems with the touch of a button. I love this car, and one of the best I have owned. It never left me stranded in the 16 years I have owned it. It
is very fun to drive with plenty of power. Handles very well. I hate
to sell it but I have 5 cars already and need to scale down my fleet in my old age. I
purchased this car in 1998 from original owner who was an electronics
engineer. He kept the car in tip top shape and had the dealer do all repairs and maintenance. I too am an electronics
engineer and maintained it with the same
love and care as he did, and why this car is in such great condition
for it's age today. I have the shop manual and did most of my own
maintenance and repairs. I have a list of ALL the work and maintenance that had been done to this car over the years. Everything
in this car works as it should except for the interior lights that
should come on when you lift the door handle or press the key fob for
interior lights. This is due to a bad switch in the driver's side door
handle, and I just didn't bother to fix it.. The lights do
come on when you open the
door. I disabled the anti- theft circuit which senses and identifies
the key as the key matched to the car. It can be re-enabled. Other than that, EVERYTHING else works including the cassette player. This is a California Car, so there is no rust. The
exterior is very nice as you can see. With in the last year I treated
the car a new paint job
new battery, a new rebuilt transmission, front end control arms,
velocity joints, struts and shocks. Tires are in great condition too. The spare tire has never been out of trunk. The
Interior is still in good
condition for it's age with some signs of wear as shown in photos. The
dashboard has cracks as you would expect from a car this age but you
wouldn't know if because of the nice matching dash mat which covers the dash very
nicely. The car has original floor mats. The headliner
is still in good shape with a few tears, see photos. The sunvisors show signs of wear with small tears in the fabric as shown. Most
of the miles on this car are freeway miles going to work on an evening
shift. No stop and go, so there is easy wear on the car. The car gets between 18 and 30
MPG. I have all original books that came with the car including a shop manual. Wheel locks tool. I have a record of all maintenance that was done on this car since it was new with mileage and date. The car has been very reliable and I expect it go go for many more miles without any problems. You will not be disappointed.

This Or That: 1980 Oldsmobile 442 vs. 1989 BMW 635CSi [w/poll]
Thu, 09 Oct 2014The last time I roped a coworker into an automotive debate, I lost. Resoundingly, I might add. Still, 2,385 voters chose to cast their lots for the Fiat 500 Abarth, as opposed to 5,273 choosing the Ford Fiesta ST, and so I can rest easy in the knowledge that at least 30 percent of you, dear readers, see things my way. I still like to think we have more fun, too.
My loss in the first round of our This or That series, in which two Autoblog editors pick sides on any given topic and then attempt to explain why the other is completely wrong, didn't stop me from picking another good-natured fight, this time with Senior Editor Seyth Miersma. Last time, our chosen sides were eerily similar in design, albeit quite different in actual execution. This time, our vehicular peculiarities couldn't seemingly fall any further from one another: A 1980 Oldsmobile 442 wouldn't seem to match up in comparison to a 1989 BMW 635CSi.
How did we come up with such disparate contenders? Simple, really. Seyth and I mutually agreed to choose a car that's currently for sale online. It had to be built and sold in the 1980s, and it had to be a coupe. The price cap was set at $10,000. The fruits of our searching labors will henceforth be disputed, with Seyth on the side of the Germans, and myself arguing in favor of the Rocket Olds. Am I setting myself up for another lopsided loss?
Jay Leno bangs up his own Toronado in GT6
Wed, 11 Dec 2013Ever since Gran Turismo 4, Jay Leno has had at least one of his cars included in the popular racing simulator (starting with the Tank Car), and more of his machines appears in Gran Turismo 6. They include this nose-heavy, front-wheel-drive V8-powered muscle car. Yes, that aptly describes a 1966 Oldsmobile Toronado - except Leno's is rear-wheel drive. And it has a Cadillac CTS-V race engine modified to pump out 1,070 horsepower.
For the latest Jay Leno's Garage episode, he takes his real Toronado out for a cruise and then drives the virtual one like he stole it, accruing some body damage along the way. Leno also drives the virtual supercar Mercedes-Benz designed for GT6, the AMG Vision Gran Turismo Concept that debuted at the LA Auto Show, along with the real one, which is a 1:1-scale model. The model is radio-controlled and equipped with a small electric motor, sufficient to move it on and off of auto show floors.
Head below to watch the episode, which includes a few words from GT6 creator Kazunori Yamauchi.
GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems
Mon, 30 Jun 2014General Motors today announced a truly massive recall covering some 8.4 million vehicles in North America. Most significantly, 8.2 million examples of the affected vehicles are being called back due to "unintended ignition key rotation," though GM spokesperson Alan Adler tells Autoblog that this issue is not like the infamous Chevy Cobalt ignition switch fiasco.
For the sake of perspective, translated to US population, this total recall figure would equal a car for each resident of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, Vermont and Wyoming. Combined. Here's how it all breaks down:
7,610,862 vehicles in North America being recalled for unintended ignition key rotation. 6,805,679 are in the United States.
