so the whole reason GM is still laround is because of old people…wow what a great legacy

buicks inovations and racing are legendary(road racing old yellow 1&2 crushed all europeans, drag racing-buddy ingersols perfect undefeated season-then he was barred for beating up on all the big blocks with a v6, indy, stock car,ect)
a stock block indy turbo engine broke and held the fastest lap record for 10 years before honda, mercedes, ferrari, porshe or any one elses technology could catch up to and break it.so i guess buick people are getting old from waiting…

oldsmobile pioneered chrome plated trim, first car to have the modern form of FWD, first auto transmission, etc etc.

32

olds has been dead long before today :rolleyes:

ROFL

33

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…

Sorry b-o-b:(

alero i think

It was on channel one today for the kids. jimmy johnson was guest host. the pop quiz was

what company ran oldsmobile?

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.

fuck all you olds haters, if was crazy you’d all have bombs in your mailboxes.
