I hate to be the bearer of some sad news, but the last Olds rolled off the line at 10 AM this morning


BIG MISTAKE GM!!!


I grew up riding in 2 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser Station Wagons- the first a 1971 Jade Green CC purchase at the late, great Kurland Olds/Cadillac in Nyack, New York in june of 1971, which was trade for a Chestnut Brown CC in June of 1973 at King Oldsmobile in Ossining, New York. I had fond memories of those cars.

SAVE OLDSMOBILE

 

Buick might be next. I always did like oldsmobiles

 

Good riddance to grandpa's division.

 

No way, they've alreaddy stated that they'd prefer to never do this again because of all the paperwork and money it costs to go through with it isn't worth it.

 

Well, my dad has a 5-speed Alero, yes that right, he has an Olds with a clutch pedal. He was going to get an Intrigue with the 3.5 v6, until he heard they were putting a 5 speed into the Alero.

Personally, I really like it, nice car, though some of the plastic feels a little "lightweight", not really sure how to describe it other than that. For example, the shifter doesn't feel as solid as the shifter in my old ecplise. I definatly don't like the variable assist steering though, feels disconnected or too heavy.

Personally I wish Buick and/or saturn would have been killed first. BTW (IIRC) did you know that the year this was announced, Olds sold over 100k units, but GM killed them, while buying Sabb, who only sold about 35k units that same year.

 

Sad to see em go. My dad occasionally drives one of the Intrigue company cars from hsi work when his Tahoe's in the shop. I LOVE driving that thing. **** has almost 200k on it and the 'baby northstar' as we call it still is fast enough to pound on my buddies '02 Grand Prix GT and whatnot. that car rocked.
