The Oldsmobile Calais, renamed the Cutlass Calais for 1988, was a compact car produced by the Oldsmobile division of General Motors from 1985 through 1991. In part, it was intended to replace the Omega in Oldsmobile's lineup. It shared the GM N platform with the Pontiac Grand Am and the Buick Skylark and was replaced by the Oldsmobile Achieva in 1992. During this time, Oldsmobile also produced two other Cutlass models, the Cutlass Ciera and Cutlass Supreme, each on its own platform.
A special Cutlass Calais model was the 1990 to 1991 Quad-442. It used a high-output version of the Quad-4 engine coupled to a 5-speed manual transmission.
Previously, the Cutlass Calais nameplate was used on top-line versions of the Cutlass Supreme coupé (differing from the Supreme only in minor trim details) from 1978 to 1984. There was also a Cadillac Calais model, sold from 1965 to 1976.Engines
