Default Too many dieing 94s...

Is it just me or is there a fair amount of 94 L27s that are making their ways into the crapper?!?!

Seems that there are a lot of 94s being parted out in the For Sale forum. Or, maybe it'* just me taking more notice because of all the issues I ran into with my 94 Olds 88.

Were there any significant changes between 93 and 94? 93 is said to be the best year for a 3800...but only one year later we see so many deaths?!?!

93 had the digital EGR, not 94.
