GM still pushing lame-duck Oldsmobiles

Article Abstract:

General Motors (GM) has resorted to a new ad campaign and good deals to lure consumers in buying Oldsmobile automobiles even if the automaker plans to phase out the brand within the next few years. For instance, an Intrigue sedan can be had for $22,000 to $26,000 after a $1,000 rebate, while buyers have the option not to make payments or accrue interest until Jan 2002. GM is also offering some of its best warranties on Oldsmobiles, five years and 60,000 miles.
