Oldsmobile Silhouette 2003

Elle y est encore !

Par : Éric Descarries

Le fait que General Motors ait annoncé la disparition éventuelle de la marque Oldsmobile aurait pu justifier le besoin de faire disparaître la belle minifourgonnette Silhouette. Pourtant, elle figure toujours à la gamme des véhicules GM. La Silhouette représente la version la plus luxueuse des minifourgonnettes de General Motors dont font partie les Chevrolet Venture et Pontiac Montana. Si sa diffusion peut sembler limitée, sa présence est évidente. La Silhouette se reconnaît par son avant distinctif et ses ornementations plus sobres.

Carrosserie

Comme dans le cas des autres minifourgonnettes du même constructeur, la Silhouette est reconduite en 2003. Elle n'est offerte qu'en version allongée et en finitions GL, GLS et Première Édition de grand luxe. Ce sont tous des véhicules à quatre portières et hayon.

Mécanique

La Silhouette partage également les mêmes éléments mécaniques que les autres minifourgonnettes, y compris le V6 de 4,3 litres développant 185 chevaux couplé à une boîte de vitesses automatique à quatre rapports et à la traction. Les versions GLS et Première Édition sont offertes avec la transmission intégrale VersaTrak qu'on trouve également sur les Buick Rendezvous et Pontiac Aztek. Cette année, les Silhouette rouleront sur des roues de 16 pouces.

Habitacle

La grande différence réside au chapitre de la finition intérieure. Même si la structure est la même pour les trois minifourgonnettes, la Silhouette propose une sellerie plus élaborée. À l'avant et au centre, on trouvera des sièges baquets. Il sera possible de commander la télé et le lecteur DVD, les sièges chauffants, la console intégrale avec rangement et porte-gobelet, le système On Star et une foule d'autres options dignes d'une voiture de luxe comme la Silhouette.

Elle a sa place !

Enfin, comme on peut le voir, la Silhouette a définitivement sa place au sein de la grande famille GM. Elle peut à elle seule concurrencer des minifourgonnettes de luxe comme la Windstar Limited ou la Chrysler Town & Country. Espérons que le nom Oldsmobile ne disparaîtra pas de sitôt.

Informations

Recall Number Involved: 133,221

Models Involved: LeSabre, Rendezvous, Deville, Trailblazer, Impala, Monte Carlo,
Venture, Envoy, Bravada, Aurora, Silhouette, Bonneville, Montana

Dates of Manufacture: May - July 2002

[NHTSA Recall No. 02V222/GM Recall No. 02032]

Defect: Certain passenger cars, minivans, and sport utility vehicles have an air
bag inflator on the driver's side that could fracture at a weld during a
deployment. Pieces of the inflator could strike and injure vehicle occupants,
and the air bag cushion would not inflate fully, reducing the capability of the
bag to protect the driver.

Remedy: Dealers will inspect and replace, if necessary, the air bag module
assembly on the driver's side. The manufacturer reported that owner notification
was expected to begin during September 2002. Owners who do not receive the free
remedy within a reasonable time should contact Buick at 1-800-521-7300, Cadillac
at 1-800-458-8006, Chevrolet at 1-800-222-1020, GMC at 1-800-462-8782,
