Oldsmobile Aurora

How does history look back on the Aurora (which, I realise, isn't really all that ancient yet)? I saw one of the first-gen cream-coloured Auroras on the highway last night, and it's still a head-turner. Did it ever sell as well as expected? Did it sell better or worse as time went on? After the re-do for the second gen? I believe it had some quality concerns that kept it down. Is this true? It's unfortunate it didn't take off... it really stands out even today as a beautiful design, and was a very unique vehicle in an era when GM wasn't always at the forefront of design. On looks alone there isn't a single other luxo-sedan from the 90's that I'd prefer.
