ok im confused........
the gold one = the Intrigue
the pink = the alero
i think you have them mixed up ion. if you look at the side skirt and headlights between the 2, the gold one is definatly the intrigue

I think you are confused. He posted up images of the Intrigue 442 and asked: "What's the story on this one?" to which I replied: "Intrigue 442 edition"
.. and then I went on to say "it's ugly. the alero one was like that, but pink.. with ghetto ass rims.. and a HUGE wing"
and then I provided a picture to describe the Alero version

WOW! That intrigue looks nice, and I hate intrigues...Now just imagine if that was the original look for the intrigue and the osv alero did come out in time GM would have been still in the game...there catching up with the ecotec and the cobalt and stuff but dam why does GM come up with good ideas and never release them? That pic of the intrigue can even compete against a charger just with its front end...

Most would agree with you on the huge rectangles in front. GM was looking for that '70 442 grill look, but failed miserably. It looks like an Aurora grill for the most part and they just stuck those ugly ass grills in their.

What kind of paint does the green one have? It looks tight as hell, so shiny and "wet" and un-orange peel-y.
gaaah

This one still exists. According to Richard Balsley Oldsmobile's Special Division Manager there is one set of 2000 OSVs (the Red ones) they made two sets allegedly that were not driven by the press and not shown at shows and those were saved and hiding somewhere, he would not disclose their location. The Alero 442 was scrapped so was the Saturday night Cruiser (yellow) Intrigue, Polar bear Intrigue, and RKS Alero. The Alero convertible still exists. The 2001 green OSVs which were days out of production according to Richard (I mean literally only days) were also scrapped with 1st set of 2000 Red OSVs 2 of the 3 SC-3 (Barret Jackson called these the Zebra Edition)Oldsmobiles still exist as well.

According to Richard that green is a Cadillac Color used in 2001, it was GM's best production paint at the time. And the wet look is from hours of wet sanding.

The zebra car still exists I have pics, and spoke to the lady whos husband owns it. She said the car was bought at that Barret Jackson, I even asked her if those arent the original rims she said your right she didn't say why, I think they were from florida, I wanted to look under the hood, but her husband wasn't around. Im guessing it had the 3400....
Saturday night Cruiser (yellow) Intrigue I actually have a pic or two of this car, Polar bear Intrigue OMG HUH? I want to see....., and RKS Alero Im guessing this was the Kalifornia edition?

yes there was 2 sets of the red OSV and 1 set of the green OSV. The vehicles were made by MSX. The green 2001 was days out of production. it was desgned to replicate the production model that is why the side skirts and wing where bolt on but the bumpers would not have been a full replacement but but like the razzi kit. they were setting it up so they could add the OSV stuff on the assembly line.
out of the 2 red OSV aleros 1 was the show car and one was the test car which AJ foyt, Al Unser, and other drove it at the track. Also according to Richard Balsley the red OSV was putting 230 hp to the ground. i have pics of both red OSV aleros.
the Alero 442 and Intrigue 442 both had according to Richard, 475hp 4.6 Northstar motors that were built by a company in CA. the Alero 442 was FWD 5spd with true dual exhaust and came with factory gauges that included a 10k tach.
