GM and Oldsmobile enthusiasts, this is your chance to own a piece of automotive history! The W-body Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme had big shoes to fill, as the RWD Cutlass Supreme it was replacing was one of the best selling vehicles in America during its run. It was part of an elaborate new vehicle program called "GM-10", which was initiated by CEO Roger Smith in 1982. Costing billions of dollars to develop, the GM-10 cars were intended to replace the midsize coupes and sedans produced by Chevrolet, Pontiac, Oldsmobile and Buick. However, the program suffered numerous delays and cost issues related to GM's disastrous 1984 reorganization, and thus only three models were ready for launch by late 1987 - the Buick Regal, Pontiac Grand Prix and Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme coupes. The Cutlass would suffer production delays and not be available until early 1988. While the redesigned model was well received by the press, sales were disappointing, primarily because of the disastrous marketing campaign surrounding the vehicle. Labeling it "The New Generation of Oldsmobile", the new Cutlass was featured in TV commercials and print ads with the children of various celebrities hailing it as a vehicle for the "next generation"and "Not Your Father's Oldsmobile". Not only did this campaign completely destroy Oldsmobile's brand equity and drove away generations of loyal buyers overnight, it failed to attract new, younger buyers, who found the car to be too expensive and unappealing. GM's marketers were taking a car designed for Murphy Brown and trying to sell it to Mike Seaver. Sales of the Cutlass Supreme and Oldsmobile overall tanked, never to recover, playing a major factor in the Oldsmobile brand eventually being closed in 2004. In a way, this car can be considered the "car that killed Oldsmobile". Today, this car's marketing campaign is regularly used by business schools as a prominent example of extraordinary failure in marketing and brand management.

eBay Find of the Day: 1976 GMC Motorhome is a jolly green giant
Wed, 18 Jun 2014If you have a need to relive the 1970s, then here is the vehicle for you. This groovy blast from the past is a 1976 GMC Motorhome currently for auction in Florida on eBay Motors, and it is one green machine - just not in the modern sense.
The seller claims that this beast has had just two owners and has covered a mere 61,308 miles in its decades on the road. It's reportedly never been restored or repainted and comes with all of the necessary books and manuals. A 7.5-liter (455-cubic-inch) Oldsmobile V8 with a three-speed Turbo-Hydramatic automatic transmission powering the front wheels propels this far-out RV, and the double set of rear wheels out back use a self-leveling air suspension to provide a cushy ride.
The purported low miles and good condition really make this GMC a stand out, though. The exterior combination of lime stripes and beige with just a touch of green is like nothing else on the road today. Plus, the polished bumpers and wheels make it all pop. Inside, it's even better with monochromatic green upholstery and shag carpet. It features everything you'd ever need on a long trip, including a bathroom, kitchenette and lots of seating. The only hint of modernization is an HD TV next to the stove, but its size is a perfect fit for the hole there.
This Or That: 1980 Oldsmobile 442 vs. 1989 BMW 635CSi [w/poll]
Thu, 09 Oct 2014The last time I roped a coworker into an automotive debate, I lost. Resoundingly, I might add. Still, 2,385 voters chose to cast their lots for the Fiat 500 Abarth, as opposed to 5,273 choosing the Ford Fiesta ST, and so I can rest easy in the knowledge that at least 30 percent of you, dear readers, see things my way. I still like to think we have more fun, too.
My loss in the first round of our This or That series, in which two Autoblog editors pick sides on any given topic and then attempt to explain why the other is completely wrong, didn't stop me from picking another good-natured fight, this time with Senior Editor Seyth Miersma. Last time, our chosen sides were eerily similar in design, albeit quite different in actual execution. This time, our vehicular peculiarities couldn't seemingly fall any further from one another: A 1980 Oldsmobile 442 wouldn't seem to match up in comparison to a 1989 BMW 635CSi.
How did we come up with such disparate contenders? Simple, really. Seyth and I mutually agreed to choose a car that's currently for sale online. It had to be built and sold in the 1980s, and it had to be a coupe. The price cap was set at $10,000. The fruits of our searching labors will henceforth be disputed, with Seyth on the side of the Germans, and myself arguing in favor of the Rocket Olds. Am I setting myself up for another lopsided loss?
Jay Leno bangs up his own Toronado in GT6
Wed, 11 Dec 2013Ever since Gran Turismo 4, Jay Leno has had at least one of his cars included in the popular racing simulator (starting with the Tank Car), and more of his machines appears in Gran Turismo 6. They include this nose-heavy, front-wheel-drive V8-powered muscle car. Yes, that aptly describes a 1966 Oldsmobile Toronado - except Leno's is rear-wheel drive. And it has a Cadillac CTS-V race engine modified to pump out 1,070 horsepower.
For the latest Jay Leno's Garage episode, he takes his real Toronado out for a cruise and then drives the virtual one like he stole it, accruing some body damage along the way. Leno also drives the virtual supercar Mercedes-Benz designed for GT6, the AMG Vision Gran Turismo Concept that debuted at the LA Auto Show, along with the real one, which is a 1:1-scale model. The model is radio-controlled and equipped with a small electric motor, sufficient to move it on and off of auto show floors.
Head below to watch the episode, which includes a few words from GT6 creator Kazunori Yamauchi.
