And one more thing, what the hell is up with lincoln? Man, their cars SUCK !! All they have in their entire fleet is an underpowered boat the towncar, and a little luxury sedan the LS that doesnt have anywhere near as much power as its foreign competitors. Need I mention both are legendary in breaking?
Ever since the continental and Mark series was discontinued, nothing remotely good has come out of lincoln. They should have been exterminated before oldsmobile.

What was Olds pushing? The Bravada.
It's just another GM shat-out Envoy/Trailblazer clone. Bleh."y0 dawg nice twankies on that Bravada!" <--- Not likely to be heard.
Olds' death is long overdue. It's not Olds' fault tho. GM let it happen. They could have made the brand more than middle aged crap available in only 4 models.
Suicide.

The aurora is actually a somewhat decent car (provided you dont get the first few years, when reliability was absolutely horrendous)
The olds 4.0 liter V8 actually had nearly the exact same specifications as the first generation lexus V8, basically the car was designed to effectively combat lexus and infiniti, which it obviously failed to do so.

Hey I thought they were bringing back the Continental. Lincoln, OLDs and Cadillac have made some of the best cars for their time if you go looking back. It will be a shame to see one of them go but I haven't liked an Olds since the 80s Delta 88. And even then the Cadillac Fleetwood was much cooler.

Olds shot itself in the foot and helped bring about its own demise for several reasons...First, by marketing the Cutlass in too many different versions, ( both FWD and RWD) which confused people. Then they built too many cars too long with poorly-designed dasboards that were too hard to decipher with dozens of tiny, identical-shaped buttons. Then they finally got the dashes right but dropped their top-selling nameplates...the 88, 98, and Cutlass, alienating a lot of customers and sending them to Buick instead.. Then they tried to build import-fighting cars that didn't even have the Olds logo on them. The result was a marketing disaster.
