Long gone are the days when as a GM customer it showed you moving up in society as your car tastes changed. First, the Chevrolet, then the Pontiac, followed by the Oldsmobile, up to the Buick, topped off by Cadillac for the truly wealthy (or ostentatious in debt). What’s left of the five??

Yep, I had an uncle who always bought an Oldsmobile 98 because it was essentially a Cadillac at a somewhat lower price point.

It's so sad. We Americans more or less invented the modern car. Now Henry Ford is long gone and the foundation bearing his name might as well be called the Joseph Stalin Foundation.

We only got up to Olds, then Jeep, VW beetle and finally any old cheap thing that would run at least 6 months or more.

I was born in 1971, my general thoughts on GM are... in a nutshell

CRAP.

Now as to their brands.. Olds should have been killed off long before it did.... Pontiac? Seriously, put spoilers and a nasal grill on anything, including a minivan, and its your “sport” brand? Seriously... Chevy, lowest of the low... Buick... Comfortable old man cruiser... and Cadillac, what you buy when you are too old for a Buick...
