Now now Buickman...

Don't soil the naïve fantasies of GM fans by injecting reality.

So let me get this straight. It cost GM $2 billion to close Oldsmobile. I get a sneaking feeling it would have been cheaper to create four new Oldsmobile products than it was to shut the brand down.

I sense a nefarious sleight of hand here...
