GM killed the brand in 2004 (they had annouched they would be phasing out the brand back in 2000), and the product line gap left by Olds' demise is to be filled by Buick and Pontiac.
Real shame, Olds was such a distinguished marque (the oldest in the world after Daimler and Peugot), and second only in GM's lineup to Cadillac. Most of their later cars were quite good. I actually drove an Alero once as a courtesy car while my own ride was in for body work, and it was one of the nicest compacts I've ever been in; very upscale, comfortable interior, good handling, and the upper-end versions with the optional V6 had quite a bit of zip as well.
