12 Covered Cars You Might Have Forgotten Existed
GM’s GMT330 platform spawned three variants: the Chevy Blazer, the famous GMC Jimmy and a little less known, the Oldsmobile Bravada. Bravada is another example of the crowd and mess of GM nameplates. While the GMC Jimmy is a bit more upscale than the Blazer, the Bravada is the more upscale and luxurious of the two, although such a job should have gone to Buick.
While it has a slightly different front end to match the Olds design language, it’s still essentially a Blazer/Jimmy. Oldsmobile has treated Bravada GM’s SmartTrak stability control system as a luxury selling point. This is a feature that neither the Blazer nor the Jimmy are equipped with. But that is the extent of the difference.
Bravada spanned three generations spanning from 1990-2004. The last generation switched to the GMT360 platform shared with the Chevy Trailblazer, Buick Rainer, Saab 9-7X and GMC Envoy.
