The personally luxury coupe finally getting small enough to be reasonable and then bowing out.

1986-1992, particularly the 1990-92 models were the only time the Tornado looked better than the Riviera.

I always wonder what kinda people bought FWD personal luxury cars that weren’t Cadillac or Lincoln. Those had audiences… but the Mercury, Oldsmobile, and Pontiac ones seem to be an enigma to me.

Your parents’ quirky DINK friends.
One of my dad’s drinking buddies has a Toronado identical to this that he’s painstakingly restored.

My sister totaled a Tornado Trofeo as I think her first car. Let alone the aesthetic, the tech in this thing was amazing. Always have a soft spot for these as her accident could have easily been the end of her.

Let’s not be fooled, people! This thing looks fine in this photo, but those of us who were there know that it is just another GM product that was a pale imitation of…
You know what, I won’t even pretend that it was some sort of alternative to, say, a Honda Prelude, or BMW 6-series or something, because it wasn’t even close. Nobody in their right mind would say this was up to the standard being set by non-US manufacturers back then.
It was just another example of GM producing a boring, somewhat “high-tech” and “luxurious” vehicle that only people who were car nerds or old brand-loyalists even thought about.
