KennyFKINPowerz Posted April 27, 2004 Report Share Posted April 27, 2004 That is hard to believe. They have been talking about it for some time though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tony_K Posted April 27, 2004 Report Share Posted April 27, 2004 Yes, GM did a good job of killing Oldsmobile in the last ten to fifteen years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngryBMW Posted April 27, 2004 Report Share Posted April 27, 2004 That's sad. It's never cool to see the oldest company of any kind go out of business. -Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BLACKBIRD99 Posted April 27, 2004 Report Share Posted April 27, 2004 graemlins/bubbrubb.gif That means that used Olds will be a little cheaper since they went out of business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitrousbird Posted April 27, 2004 Report Share Posted April 27, 2004 It sucks to see them finally go, but they haven't really offered anything interesting in a long, long time. The Aurora was alright, but known to be problematic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Science Abuse Posted April 27, 2004 Report Share Posted April 27, 2004 Its very rare to find a car company that has built a race car or engine for almost EVERY form of motorsport in existence. They've raced straight line, twisties and ovas, both with fenders and witout, and succeded at all of them. Off the top of my head: Indy cars IRL NHRA, stock body and rails NASCAR Grand Am It is sad to see them go, butits better then letting GM besmurch their name by authorizing bad cars for years to come.

badasskylark Posted April 29, 2004 Report Share Posted April 29, 2004 Its sad ive owned 5 oldsmobile's and well my family is an oldsmobile family.The only good car they have made in the past few years though was the aurora in my opinion.

Guest Elinar Longsight Posted April 29, 2004 Report Share Posted April 29, 2004 They showed it being rolled-off today on the news. The group of people that worked on that assembly line got to sign their names under the hood. A kid I went to HS with and my Uncle Mike were shown in that group of people on the news.

turbomark Posted April 29, 2004 Report Share Posted April 29, 2004 my favorite car my parents owned was a 1980's olds cutlass station wagon... the far back seats in the trunk that faced backwards were the best thing in the world when you're young Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nevarmore Posted April 29, 2004 Report Share Posted April 29, 2004 I think Olds died because they were different. The newer Oldsmobiles weren't just cookie cutter variants of the rest of the GM family. Olds dared to be different and didn't sell enough to appear competitive against the rest of the GM line.

I've known several "Oldsmobile families." Seems to me Olds has had a lot of diehard followers. For all the Aleros and Auroras I see on the road, I question GM's ability to turn a profit more than Oldsmobile's ability to produce a likable and dependable car.
