Vehicle Highlights
A final run of Collector Editions brings down the curtain on Alero and the Oldsmobile brand for 2004. Alero comes as a 2-dr coupe or 4-dr sedan with a choice of a 4-cyl or V6 engine. Automatic transmission is standard, but manual is available with the 4 cyl. ABS is optional on GX and GL1 models, standard on the uplevel GL2 and GLS versions, and includes 4-wheel disc brakes. The last 500 Aleros off the assembly line are set to get special exterior and interior trim commemorating the end of Oldsmobile's 106-year history. Alero shares its design with the Pontiac Grand Am; its performance and accommodations mirror those of similarly equipped Grand Ams.
