Yes, Olds was older. And it was a shame the brand died. I was really upset at the time. But I also feel that GM made the right move in the end.

But the larger point was that I believe that Saturn doesn't stand for anything. Pontiac may have a bit of a tarnished image, but GM could revive it with little difficulty if they gave them some real attention. Saturn, however, has had a recent $3 billion revival added to the $15 BILLION GM has already spent on them. Enough is enough. IMHO, GM should pull the plug and focus those dollars on Pontiac and Buick - but that's just me.
