Dear Consumer:
Thank you for contacting the Center for Auto Safety (CAS)
about problems with your General Motors N-car (Buick Skylark, Somerset;
Chevrolet Malibu; Oldsmobile Calais, Achieva, Alero, Cutlass; Pontiac
Grand Am). First introduced in 1985 as the Pontiac Grand AM, Oldsmobile
Calais and Buick Somerset Regal, N-cars have undergone a bewildering array
of changes over the years. In 1986 the Somerset Regal became the Somerset
and was joined by the Skylark.
