"Polite" seems to mean different things to different people, some seeming to be completely unaware of the concept, and some interpreting it as keeping your head down and going-along-to-get-along with any ridiculous pronouncement unmuddied by facts.

Never mind.  :)

Out in the cold is where GM dumped its legacy brands like Pontiac and Oldsmobile (one of the oldest car makers on the planet [1897] that had been building them since before Mercedes existed [1901]), and is credited with many industry firsts (like the moving assembly line, and being the first "mass produced" car manufacturer).

(Though the 1886 Benz Patent Motorwagen is defined as the world's first IC-powered automobile, Oldsmobile wasn't far behind.)

Firsts for Old's is the Curved Dash or model R which is considered the first mass produced vehicle built on an assembly line.
