The Oldsmobile Alero was a family of compact cars that debuted for the 1999 model year. The Alero was offered in a sedan or coupe body style, and was powered by a choice of two inline four engines (2.2L, 2.4L) or one V6 option (3.4L). These front mounted engines were paired to manual or automatic transmissions to send drive to the front wheels. Three trim levels were available, GX, GL, and GLS, with the GLS representing the top of the range. Production of the Oldsmobile Alero lasted until 2004.
