door handles were slightly recontoured to minimize slipping fingers when the handles are pulled. Seat belt release buttons were moved from the face of the buckle to the end for improved convenience. An electronic compass was added to the inside rear-view mirror. Larger front brakes came along with cast aluminum front control arms and steering knuckles. The rear ashtray assembly was changed from a click-lock face to a pull-up face. Finally, the spare tire cover and jack cradle assembly was changed from the jack and cover being bolted down to one where the jack sat in a plastic "bucket" inside the spare with the cover simply placed on top. On some 1997 models, a modest "Oldsmobile" badge returned to the right-rear corner of the car along with the Aurora name.

Buick dropped its Riviera development plans at the same time Oldsmobile faced fiscal trouble. The division was then forced to re-engineer the Antares into an acceptable Aurora in a short time. Still using the G-body design, the re-engineered Aurora was the result, retaining its 4.0 V8 Northstar mounted to a 4T80-E automatic transmission. 658:
springs added to front struts for improved body motion control and to minimize crash-through. Increased wheel travel (3 mm) and redesigned jounce bumpers for softer feel at full travel. Dual durometer cradle mounts for improved isolation. Premium valving and damping in the front and rear struts for a higher refinement in calibration. There were more accurate wheel sensors for improved ABS actuation. New steering calibration for more on-center feel and reduced parking effort.
