2004 Oldsmobile Silhouette

SILHOUETTE OFFERS COMFORT, CONVENIENCE, SOPHISTICATED FEATURES

As Oldsmobile continues to wind down production, passenger comfort and convenience are the focus of the upscale 2004 Silhouette, especially the Premiere model with its state-of-the-art entertainment system and sophisticated features. Silhouette was designed for customers seeking a practical, roomy vehicle. With personal touches such as a separate rear audio system, Silhouette offers enough comfort and style to make any journey a pleasure. The 2004 Silhouette offers all of the quality and value customers have come to expect from Oldsmobile.

For 2004, Oldsmobile backs its commitment to quality by giving Silhouette a five-year/60,000-mile warranty, the most extensive in the GM lineup.

DVD-based entertainment system
Silhouette is available with a DVD entertainment system that allows passengers to enjoy the digital image quality and versatility of a state-of-the-art home system while on the road. The DVD system includes a ceiling-integrated, fold-down 7-inch (178-mm) monitor with high-fidelity audio for miles of highway enjoyment. Silhouette's DVD system allows rear-seat passengers to watch movies, play video games or listen to audio CDs. Headphones are included with the system so that rear-seat passengers can enjoy music or motion pictures while those in front listen to the CD player or radio.

Quiet, refined powertrain
Complementing its upscale ride and comfort is Silhouette's smooth, powerful 3400 3.4L V-6 engine and Hydra-Matic 4T65-E transmission. (posted on conceptcarz.com) This well-matched powertrain is designed to give Silhouette plenty of passing and highway performance while contributing to a quiet, relaxed interior environment. Silhouette also offers impressive fuel economy estimates of 19 mpg for city driving and 26 mpg on the highway.

All-wheel drive
Silhouette is available with GM's Versatrak all-wheel-drive system that directs torque to the wheels with the most traction when road surfaces become slippery. Available on GLS and Premiere models only, Versatrak is the first AWD system to allow for a flat load floor and stowable third-row seat. Silhouette also comes equipped with four-wheel independent rear suspension for impressive handling characteristics and passenger comfort. Traction control is offered on two-wheel-drive Silhouette models.

Safety
Along with passenger comfort, Silhouette strives to excel in passenger safety with features such as dual-stage driver and front-passenger air bags. Dual-stage air bags offer maximum protection in high-speed crashes while minimizing the risk of injury to occupants of smaller stature. The dual-stage system calculates vehicle acceleration and crash severity, then provides the appropriate level of air-bag inflation. Silhouette also comes standard with side-impact air bags for the driver and front passenger. To ensure plenty of stopping power, Silhouette AWD comes equipped with four-wheel disc brakes.
