The Oldsmobile Aurora is a full-size luxury sports sedan made by Oldsmobile from 1994 to 2003. The Aurora rides on the same Cadillac-derived G platform as the two-door Buick Riviera.
After much research and development, the Aurora went into production on January 24, 1994 and was released for the 1995 model year. This was the start of the first generation (1995–1999).
