La '''Firenza''' è stata un’[[autovettura]] [[Vettura compact|compact]] prodotta dalla [[Oldsmobile]] dal [[1982]] al [[1988]]. Era basata sul pianale J a [[trazione anteriore]] e [[Motore anteriore|motore installato nell’avantreno]] che condivideva con la [[Buick Skyhawk]], la [[Cadillac Cimarron]], la [[Chevrolet Cavalier]] e la [[Pontiac Sunbird]]. La Firenza era disponibile in quattro versioni, due [[Portiera|porte]] [[coupé]], tre porte [[hatchback]], quattro porte [[berlina]] e quattro porte [[familiare]]. Non c’era relazione con la [[Vauxhall Firenza]], nonostante l’omonimia e la medesima appartenenza dei due marchi automobilistici al gruppo [[General Motors]].
==Il contesto==
La Firenza fu introdotta nel [[marzo]] del [[1982]] come sostituta della [[Oldsmobile Starfire|Starfire]], che era un’autovettura a [[trazione posteriore]] sempre del marchio Oldsmobile. Inizialmente era disponibile in versione tre [[Portiera|porte]] [[hatchback]] e quattro porte berlina, ma la gamma fu ampliata con la [[familiare]] quattro porte ''Cruiser'' nel [[1983]] e con la due porte [[coupé]] a tre volumi nel [[1986]]<ref>Auto Editors of Consumer Guide. 2006. ''Encyclopedia of American Cars'' (pagg. 642-643) . Lincolnwood, Il: Publications International.</ref>. Il nome “Cruiser” fu applicato anche alle vetture familiari commercializzate in quel periodo; queste erano la [[Vetture Mid-Size|mid-size]] [[Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser|Cutlass Cruiser]] e la [[Vetture Full-Size|full-size]] [[Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser|Custom Cruiser]]. La Firenza faceva parte della categoria delle [[vettura compact]] e fu posizionata alla base della gamma offerta dalla Oldsmobile, appena sotto lae leggermente più grandi [[Oldsmobile Omega|Omega]] e [[Oldsmobile Cutlass Calais|Calais]].
==Overview==
The all-new Firenza was introduced in March 1982, as replacement for the departed rear-wheel drive [[Oldsmobile Starfire|Starfire]]. Initially available as a 3-door hatchback and 4-door sedan, the lineup was expanded to include a 4-door "Cruiser" wagon in 1983, and a 2-door notchback coupe in 1986.<ref>Auto Editors of Consumer Guide. 2006. ''Encyclopedia of American Cars'' (pp 642-43) . Lincolnwood, Il: Publications International.</ref> The name "Cruiser" was applied to all Oldsmobile station wagons at the time; this included the [[mid-size]] [[Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser|Cutlass Cruiser]] and [[full-size]] [[Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser|Custom Cruiser]]. The Firenza was positioned as Oldsmobile's entry-level compact car, priced below the sightly larger [[Oldsmobile Omega|Omega]] and later [[Oldsmobile Cutlass Calais|Calais/Cutlass Calais]]. Despite this, the Firenza could be equipped with premium options such as power windows, power locks, and 14-inch alloy wheels.<ref name="ReferenceA">Oldsmobile Factory Sales Brochure "1988 Oldsmobile Lineup, Vol. II"</ref>
==Caratteristiche tecniche==
Although closely related to its J-body siblings, the Oldsmobile Firenza was differentiated by its distinctively Oldsmobile front and rear end styling. The upper portion of the Firenza front end featured quad rectangular headlights separated by signal lights in recessed housings, with a sloped body-color panel between the recesses (separati dagli indicatori di direzione ed inseriti in alloggiamenti incassati, con un pannello inclinato in tinta tra un alloggiamento e l'altro). A horizontal-barred grille was mounted in the lower portion of the front fascia. The rear featured nearly square taillights with a slight wraparound at the outboard ends of the upper rear panel (leggermente avvolgenti sulla parte terminale del parafango posteriore). This styling was further enhanced for Firenza's last model year, 1988, when it received a new open grille, sealed-beam composite headlamps (una nuova griglia frontale, gruppi ottici compositi sotto un'unica parabola), and tail lights, styled after those of the [[Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera|Cutlass Ciera]].<ref name="ReferenceA">Oldsmobile Factory Sales Brochure "1988 Oldsmobile Lineup, Vol. II"</ref>
Firenza was launched with a 2.0-liter pushrod (motore a valvole in testa) inline four-cylinder engine as the sole powerplant, but an overhead-cam 1.8-liter engine was added during the model year. Wraparound amber turn signal lights (indicatori di direzione dal disegno avvolgente) were added immediately outboard of the headlights for 1984. In 1985 the 2.8 L [[GM 60-Degree V6 engine#LB6|LB6]] V6 was added as an option, as well as a new GT package. The GT, with the V6 standard, became a separate trim level for 1986. For Firenza's final year, the hatchback coupe was dropped along with the V6, leaving just the four-cylinder notchback coupe, sedan, and wagon models. Also for 1988, all previous trim level designations were dropped. All Firenza bodystyles came in a single unnamed base model that could be equipped with six various option packages.

==La fine della produzione==
The Firenza was never a strong seller for Oldsmobile. In keeping with its premium image, Oldsmobile always had better luck selling larger, better equipped cars, most notably its wide range of Cutlass models. The 1980s were no exception to this. Also to blame was competition from its rebadged J-body siblings (Da condannare era anche la concorrenza dei modelli imparentati con la Firenza, che condividevano la piattaforma J-body). Sales of the Cavalier and Sunbird annually dwarfed (sminuirono) Firenzas, as they better fit into Chevrolet and Pontiac's value-oriented brand portfolios. (meglio si addicevano ai modelli Chevrolet e Pontiac, tradizionalmente visti come marchi popolari)<ref>Auto Editors of Consumer Guide. 2006. ''Encyclopedia of American Cars'' (pp 642-43) . Lincolnwood, Il: Publications International.</ref> Due to this, the Firenza was not replaced in Oldsmobile's lineup, leaving the [[Oldsmobile Cutlass Calais|Cutlass Calais]] as the division's smallest car. The [[Cadillac Cimarron|Cimarron]] was discontinued that year as well. [[Leeds Assembly]], which built the Firenza, was closed. The [[Buick Skyhawk|Skyhawk]] lasted another year, while [[General Motors|GM]] kept the first-generation Sunbird and Cavalier in production until 1994.
