On the 10th anniversary of Oldsmobile's ceasing production, www.autoweek.com made an excellent comment about the Aurora...........
Ten years ago today, the last Oldsmobile rolled off the line at Lansing Car Assembly. In 2014, the citizens of Lansing, Michigan fret that a new generation might not remember the brand at all -- a brand that was America's oldest car company. More than rebadged A-bodies and Wind Tunnel Waldo, the Oldsmobile is ingrained in a part of Michigan that still enjoys plenty of GM business. Nevertheless, Oldsmobiles are disappearing from the roads -- which, in the case of the awesome Aurora, is a moment worthy of pathos.
