2nd Generation GMX130
In 1997 and 1998 General Motors consolidated the 1st generation N platform with the GM A platform (FWD) and GM L platform during the corporately-engineered P-90 project which became known as GMX130. This automotive platform featured fully independent suspension and a wheelbase of 107 in (270 cm). This was the last vehicle with significant engineering involvement of Oldsmobile and also the last one produced at the Lansing Car Assembly plant on April 29, 2004. A mid-size version spawned the 1997-2003 Chevrolet Malibu & Oldsmobile Cutlass of 1997-99, including the 2004-05 Chevrolet Classic.
The GMX130 platform underpinned the following vehicles:
- 1999–2004 Oldsmobile Alero
- 1999–2005 Pontiac Grand Am
- 1997–1999 Oldsmobile Cutlass
- 1997–2003 Chevrolet Malibu
- 2004–2005 Chevrolet Classic (a previous-generation Malibu sold to fleet buyers)
The GMX130 was replaced by the Epsilon platform for 2006.

Famous quotes containing the word generation:
“The language of the younger generation ... has the brutality of the city and an assertion of threatening power at hand, not to come. It is military, theatrical, and at its most coherent probably a lasting repudiation of empty courtesy and bureaucratic euphemism.”
—Elizabeth Hardwick (b. 1916)
