IRONDOG442 Posted January 3, 2008 Author Report Posted January 3, 2008 I hope you are all enjoying these Quote
Euro Posted January 3, 2008 Report Posted January 3, 2008 Christ wtf were they thinking when they did that Nice pics, I wish they made the Intrigue like the red one!!!!! Quote
DOHCRagtopguy Posted January 3, 2008 Report Posted January 3, 2008 What beautiful cars! Too bad they killed it all off. And then GM wonders why they are going downhill so quickly. On a side note, I got pre-approved today for a car loan to pick up a nice Dodge Magnum, so the search is on. I decided that I will be keeping my Olds after all, I can't bear to part with her. I put the Nissan on Craig's list today. Back to this thread, this is some awesome stuff that I also never heard of. Thanks for your contribution. Quote
ManicMechanic Posted January 3, 2008 Report Posted January 3, 2008 Heres the minivan I'd love to have mine look something like that. Except if you look, there's no way the rear doors could open with that wide of wheel/tire. Quote
ZoomZoomFan Posted January 3, 2008 Report Posted January 3, 2008 The OSV Alero and Intrigue are two of the most beautiful vehicles I have ever seen in my life. To me, they are the perfect color with the perfect accents and perfect wheels. I'd kill to have one. Quote
AWeb80 Posted January 4, 2008 Report Posted January 4, 2008 Wow.....why didn't Olds make some of those cars......dumbies.... the van is a little funky....but cool Quote
nebojsa_o Posted January 4, 2008 Report Posted January 4, 2008 Thanks for all the info Rob, and the pictures all piled up like that. I've seen quite a few of those pics before. What a bad move on GM's part, to get rid of Olds before even trying to see how these would sell. I'd be all over that Intrigue. Quote
IRONDOG442 Posted January 4, 2008 Author Report Posted January 4, 2008 Heres some more pics from my wifes laptop yes that LX5 is in an Nbody and look at how much room it has !!! Quote
synistershadows Posted January 4, 2008 Report Posted January 4, 2008 i would so drive that alero and intrigue did they acctually sell any of these? Quote
Nick1234 Posted January 4, 2008 Report Posted January 4, 2008 the red intrigue at what looks like an auto show is the only car i like out of any of those. Quote
89SupremeCutty Posted January 4, 2008 Report Posted January 4, 2008 those pics were freaken' sweet! i do have to say that olds minivan was pretty good looking for a gm minivan. Quote
AWeb80 Posted January 4, 2008 Report Posted January 4, 2008 those pics were freaken' sweet! i do have to say that olds minivan was pretty good looking for a gm minivan. yeah, but not enough ground clearance in the soccer parking lots for the soccer moms and speed bumps. Quote
IRONDOG442 Posted January 4, 2008 Author Report Posted January 4, 2008 You want one of those vans AWEB and you know it !!! Quote
AWeb80 Posted January 4, 2008 Report Posted January 4, 2008 yep, Marie would look good in the pass seat next to me.....HOSED!!! / hijack Quote
mixe olds Posted January 4, 2008 Report Posted January 4, 2008 Great article. This should be published somewhere. I'm also biased to Olds too. Quote
Night Fury Posted January 4, 2008 Report Posted January 4, 2008 IMHO, you have got to pick a theme and stick to it to really be profitable... GM already has a sports line (Pontiac), two luxury lines (main difference is price{Buick and Cadillac}), a practical and name brand line (Chevy) , etc. Oldsmobile just didn't really fit in. They should have given it a reputation, like the fuel efficient line with a cool slogan like "the right choice" or "the alternative"(to foreign). They had some roots in it too, kindof (lol) like the "turnpike cruiser" http://home.c2i.net/terjekl/carlife.htm. Hell, with my O/D, I get 36 with poor aerodynamics, heavy car, puny ass tires and a big engine.('95 olds Ciera) They could have revolutionized the sector! Lower axle ratios, lighter body panels etc, but keep it practical! They would be making some $$$ now... Quote
IRONDOG442 Posted January 7, 2008 Author Report Posted January 7, 2008 Oldsmobile was the first GM company they had a reputation established and had a market. Saturn started that new trend and basically replaced Oldsmobile. Quote
