My ideal Oldsmobile lineup. Yes I'm using the Northstar II and Aurora II (the 4.2 Northstar concept) engines. I would place Oldsmobile directly against BMW only at a much cheaper price.

Alero
Redesign, large Kappa. 3 series competitor.
LS: 2.8 200 HP/FWD/$25k
LT: 3.2 230 HP/FWD/more standard features/$28k
RKT: 3.6 TT 400 HP/AWD/$33k

Aurora
Full size Oldsmobile, made on Sigma platform. 7 series competitor
LS: 4.7 375 HP (Northstar II)/RWD/AWD/$40k
LT: 4.7 375 HP/RWD/AWD/more standard options/$43k
RKT: 7.5 V12 515 HP (XV12, powererd down to bring up torque, In my world there is also a supercharged version for Cadillac V series)/RWD/AWD/more standard options/$55k

Bravada
Redesign with new styling, X5 competitor.
LS: 3.6 260 HP/RWD/AWD/$39k
LT: 4.2 320 HP/RWD/AWD/$46k
RKT:4.7 375 HP/RWD/AWD/$52k

Cutlass
Small Zeta platform car. 5 series competitor.
LS: 3.2 230 HP/RWD/$35k
LT: 3.6 260 HP/RWD/AWD/more standard options/$39k
LST:4.2 320 HP/RWD/AWD/most standard options/$46k
RKT: 4.7 SC 510 HP/RWD/AWD/$53K

Cutlass 442
Coupe version of Cutlass. 6 series competitor
LS: 4.2 320 HP/RWD/AWD/$40k
LT: 4.7 375 HP/RWD/AWD/$46k
RKT: 4.7 SC 510 HP/RWD/AWD/$52K

Incas
Large Kappa roadster to compete with Z4.
LS: 2.8. 200 HP/RWD/AWD/$32k
LT: 3.2 230 HP/RWD/AWD/$38k

Recon
Smaller version of Bravada competitor for X3.
LS: 2.8 200 HP/RWD/AWD/$28k
LT: 3.2 230 HP/RWD/AWD/$33k

The RKT stands for Oldsmobile Rocket. Only a few car lovers will get the refence, and no I wouldn't advertise them as that. Leave'em guessing, or at least arouse enough curiosity for them to look it up.
