I don't understand why GM would stop making Oldsmobile. Maybe the Olds are too good and GM can't make any money on repairs. I've had a few, and never any serious problems. Not like some other brands I won't mention.

It didn’t take a genius to see that GM was wasting money with five brands competing in the same space. Why did they need the Alero with the Malibu, Grand Am, L Series, and Century. They even had SAAB in order to publicly state they couldn’t compete with foreign cars. So where did that leave room for the Alero? The whole Oldsmobile brand was not just superfluous, it was an open wound.

It's too bad Olds has gone. I would like to have seen what a 2013 Alero would have looked like. For what the Alero costs, it looks pretty good compared to cars that cost twice as much.
