The Alero GLS may not break any new ground in the great features race, but it provides a good combination of driving dynamics and safety. It looks like a baby Aurora, it sounds and feels like a Japanese import, and it is attractively priced.It has been years since people walked into Oldsmobile showrooms looking for smaller cars. After all, the Achieva was not a great product. In a single stroke, however, the Alero erases all the memories of that car and puts a viable candidate in the Oldsmobile stores along with the Aurora, Intrigue, Bravada, Eighty Eight and Silhouette.
