2002 Oldsmobile Profile

The Profile was one of the final concept cars GM showed under the Oldsmobile name. It was a compact crossover with a high driving position, bold grille, and chunky proportions. It had AWD, a smart interior, and strong hints of what would eventually become the Saturn Vue or Chevy Equinox.

The Profile showed that Oldsmobile could’ve had a place in the booming crossover market, but GM pulled the plug before that future could arrive. It was the right idea—just under the wrong badge at the wrong time.
