averaged /. Third generation (2002–2004) Redesigned as a midsize SUV for its third generation, the 2002 Bravada hit showrooms in February 2001. It was the first GMT360 truck introduced, and the last new Oldsmobile model. Like the Chevrolet TrailBlazer and GMC Envoy, it used the new Atlas straight-six engine. Rear-wheel drive was available for the first time as well, making this the first rear-wheel drive Oldsmobile since the 1992 Custom Cruiser. The Bravada entered the Canadian market at this time. The 4.3L V6 was discontinued in the Bravada in favor of a new engine, making it the first Oldsmobile with a straight-6 engine since the Omega of 1976, and the only GMT360 not to offer a V8 engine option. Production of the Bravada ended with the demise of the Oldsmobile marque in 2004. The last 500 Bravadas were produced as "Final 500" special editions, each featuring custom seat embroidering and exterior badging inspired by vintage Oldsmobile logos, dark cherry metallic paint, unique chrome alloy wheels, and a medallion featuring that particular Bravada's production number, ranging from 1 to 500. The very last Bravada, number 500 of the final edition, rolled off the assembly line on January 12, 2004. The Bravada bodyshell was continued by its joint replacements, the Buick Rainier (2004–07) and the Saab 9-7X (2005–09) — the latter of which remained in production until December 2008.
