Not sure if its been posted, and im sure as hell not searching.



I personally love the thick ass rear tires and side exhaust. btw its a 3.8 supercharged motor.

This is the first I have seen it. I'm not sure what I think. I think I have a hard time getting past the fact it's a mini van w/ side exhaust .

maybe its just the angle of the picture but it looks like the rear has a much wider rim and tire. that doesnt make much sence in a fwd vehicle.

Back in 2000, Oldsmobile tried to ressurect it's image with three special vehicles, a mod'd Alero, Intrigue and an mini-van, the Silhouette. None of which made production. I had a hard time finding info on the net about it, I have a brochure somewhere. anyway...would have been a step in the right direction for the now defunct Olds line. Van would have needed some more ponies though

From some website:
"Oldsmobile tries to demonstrate that minivans aren't just for parents of soccer kids with the OSV Silhouette. It gets similar chassis modifications and the same 19-inch tires as the Intrigue. Horsepower on the Silhouette's 3.4-liter V-6 increases from 185 to 210 from intake and exhaust improvements. The OSV Silhouette has six leather bucket seats with adjustable backrest, shoulder and thigh support.

Olds says it is exploring production of all three concepts and may offer some OSV components as accessories because of growing interest in custom and performance parts."
