New category for fwd 88 and 98s?
"Large Oldsmobiles" seems to cater to rear drive 88 and 98s up to 1985, and "Final Years" Olds is restricted to Aurora, Intrigue and Alero, how about a separate category for the FWD 88 and 98s of 1985/6 to 1999? There are a lot of them still out there, and they're a good choice daily driver for Olds fans that want something a bit bigger than the 3 final models. They have their own personality and issues as well. Also maybe FWD Cutlass Ciera deserves a separate category from RWD Cutlass as well and could be included with fwd 88/98? ... anyhow, just some food for thought.

I wouldn't mind seeing a category for circa 1982-1997 FWD cars, including the Cieras, Firenzas, Calais', Achievas, 88s, 98s, etc. Though I suppose these could all fall under the "Other" category. Not sure how much interest there is in these cars. I've been driving late 80s H body cars for the past decade as daily drivers, and enjoy spotting that era FWD variants on the road (there are tons still being relied on by their owners).
Even noticed something last night related to this: was watching "Broadcast News" for the umpteenth time on cable last night, and noted one of the characters drove a brand new 1987 Delta 88 Royale coupe. Pretty car.

Seems like the early fwd Olds deserve their own place... what's the official process to request this? They are very different cars than the rwd's and the later Alero/Intrigue/Aurora "Final Years" cars.
