Yes, JZD did say that in an article not long ago (I have the article at home). I agree that it would be a good idea. GM made a horrible mistake by the marketing slogan "not your father's Oldsmobile." Well, dad's Olds lasted forever and had a great engine -- why wouldn't we want that? I drove an Aurora not long ago -- nice big block 8-cylinder with good handling; all in all a nice family sedan I thought, with enough "oomph" for my humble needs (as with most good Olds'). Then I heard they were discontinuing the line, and they announced it three years in advance -- marketing blunder #2, and I don't even deal with marketing. now they're selling Oldsmobiles that they've had in the making, and they're still discontinuing the line while telling everybody not to worry, that the parts will be available. I can't fathom it. Oldsmobile >would< be better off by getting some reliable Japanese (or other "foreign") cars and selling them until they're back on solid ground. To see a great old name discontinued due to bad marketing is just a tragedy. Sorry for the rant -- I try to work as little as possible on Fridays. :) At any rate, at the end of the article, the interviewer asked John if the GTO was his legacy. "I'm still working on my legacy," was his response with a smile. Hmm. Regards, Farrar -- www.wwno.org 504-280-7000 ------------------------ Yahoo!
