The Alero is an interesting case. At the time, it was the best that GM could do, and in a vacuum, it's a pretty good car. OK styling, decently designed interior, etc. But compare it to any conteporary car from a Japanese manufacturer, and it's easy to see why Olds is now shuttered. As an import fighter (Olds' designated role at GM before its demise), it just didn't stack up. It's unfortunate, really. I hate seeing a historic marque like Olds disappear because of GM's inteptitude at screwing cars together. Luckily, it looks like things are actually changing at the company now that Lutz is aboard. Hope it sticks.
