You should facepalm...

1)Pontiac sold way more grand ams than olds sold aleros.

2) They were still selling grand ams TWO YEARS after olds was dead

3)They didn't need a concept car... they had been selling a grand am since 1992! :P

4) The first of the last generation of N-chassis cars to be designed and sold to the public was actually the chevy malibu, so really you ought to say the grand am and alero are re-badged malibus. And they all use a 60 degree v6 based on a chevy engine.

but hey, who's keeping score? Both cars are dead, both brands are dead, only chevy is still around, and the 60v6 that exists now has no relation to the previous engine except for the cylinder spacing and bank angle.

1) yes
2) true, but with some alero styling (ugly mirrors and gouge rather than ribs on the sides), so the alero styling made the grand am uglier.
3) They actually started selling the grand am in 1973, when the GTO was cancelled.
4) The first of the last generation n-body was actually the 97 Olds cutlass IIRC (ok i see that the malibu was also out that year). Either way, the olds cutlass is not the alero.

If olds stayed in business and came out with the alero california and the osv, grand ams wouldnt stand a chance!

But hey there both dead so neither olds or pontiac wins.

Not continuously though. There were a couple breaks in there, and the first two gens were v8 rwd cars. The fwd grand am started in 92.

I got a fwd 88 grand am.

Aaron forgot about 2nd gen Grand Ams? For shame.

sleepyalero · 10-03-2013, 12:18 PM

I beg to differ on the ribs, i hate the rib look. The single in dent looks good enough.

TDavis · 10-03-2013, 03:32 PM

Taillights are back my friends

These where packaged better, have a better seal, and fit 100% perfect unlike the other ones, plus they came with all the bulbs(not a big deal but still). I got like an outcast set previously or something

Smithkid21 · 10-03-2013, 03:38 PM

^ those look great. I'd still put some extra sealant to prevent from the LED's going out, which I know is common with those IIRC.

[ChaosweaveR] · 10-03-2013, 03:52 PM

Makes me miss my set.

Some lucky dingledouche who probably snagged Nick's old car is probably loving them now.

TDavis · 10-03-2013, 05:41 PM

Whores. I bought a red lens for a reason.

If I wanted to consider smoking them I would of got the clear lens because I like amber turn signals.

I wanna say they're corvette style tips. I thought they were going to come with the tips you had as shown in the picture on PFYC but I got it in the mail and found these. I like them better when I first saw them so I was by no means disappointed that I didn't get the "intercooler" style tips.

Staggered, beveled edged tips.
