Thats just plain sad. Olds is an american icon, and the part that sickens me the most:

The Toyota exec saw an opportunity, and the rights to the name were scooped up by Toyota for a nominal re-filing fee -- just $5000

You obviously didnt get it....

Toyota is poised to turn GM's once-great weapon against its former owner. With an impressive engineering commitment and a delicate balance of reverence for the past and ambition for the future, we may be witnessing another Curse of the Bambino.

APRIL FOOLS!!!!!

They didn't fool me for a minuet. I think Toyota is smart enough to know that would never work and that GM would fight them tooth and nail if they tried to do something like that.
