While I’m no GM fan, it is a shame to see Olds go… the Aurora and Intrigue always looked classier than their GM siblings… The Bravada sucked, but no one bats a thousand… ---

I think it is good that olds is gone, and it will be better for gm in the long run. Gm makes way too many vehicles that compete with other gm vehicles. Instead of making one or two good vehicles to compete in each market segment they have 6 terrible to mediocre vehicles. Look at toyota they are doing very well and they don’t waste resources competeing against themselves much. Gm would rather have quantity over quality. ---
