Damn. I hate seeing these vehicle brands go away. Especially ones like Oldsmobile which have a lot of history.


Me too..

But there hadn't been much difference between Buick and Olds for a long long time.  Oldsmobile was redundent.  Pontiac was a little more unique as the "sporty" brand of GM, but they needed more unique models to survive.

Here's a thought.  Ford could buy the Pontiac name and sell rebadged Mazdas (the "sporty" Japanese brand that is partially owned by Ford) to Americans.

HELL NO. Ford can't even manage to make Mercury anything more than nothing.
