Oldsmobile Firenza

The Oldsmobile Firenza was a compact car produced by Oldsmobile from 1982 to 1988. It was based on the front-wheel-drive GM J platform shared with the Buick Skyhawk, Cadillac Cimarron, Chevrolet Cavalier and Pontiac Sunbird. It was not based on the European-market Vauxhall Firenza but on the same platform as the Vauxhall Cavalier Mk 2 and Opel Ascona C. The Firenza name was previously used as a performance package on the previous generation Oldsmobile Starfire hatchback, and the all-new Firenza was introduced in March 1982 as a replacement for the departed rear-wheel-drive Starfire.
