80s Flashback (Oldsmobile)

Post by **Jesda** » Fri Sep 17, 2004 7:24 pm

1988 Oldsmobile Trofeo with a touch screen. Had a digital compass and animated indicators and menus for nearly everything. It also had an indicator and function with an on-screen keypad for making and receiving phone calls -- something the 2002-2005 Q45 doesnt have but was promised (Are you listening, Nissan?!)

I had no idea such a thing existed back then until tonight. Amazing! To hell with GM for killing Olds.

From the 2002 Q45:

Very nice car indeed for its day, and even for today it seems.

Olds lives on in our hearts.

Grand Prix and other pontiacs had similar stuff...

I don't recall Chevrolet using any of that stuff though...

The Buick Reatta had a similar system but there was no color, and it had no built-in phone. Olds was also the first brand to have GPS navigation and OnStar.

The brutish, angry GNX would turn you into a crying infant

Yeah, if you could keep up with it. The guys that modify their turbo Buicks are typically insane. I will still always think of Repoman when I see a turbo Buick.bud
