The 2003 Oldsmobile Alero was a mid-size sedan that represented the final iteration of a model line that had been in production since 1999. It was positioned as a mainstream, affordable offering within the General Motors lineup, competing with popular models like the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry. The Alero was known for its comfortable interior, spacious cabin, and reliable performance. While not particularly sporty, the Alero delivered solid handling and smooth acceleration. Available in both four-door sedan and two-door coupe body styles, the Alero offered a choice of two four-cylinder engines, a 2.2L Ecotec and a more powerful 2.4L Ecotec, with the latter producing around 150 horsepower. Power was sent to the front wheels via a four-speed automatic transmission.

The 2003 Oldsmobile Alero was equipped with a range of standard features including air conditioning, power steering, power windows, and a CD player. Higher trim levels added features like cruise control, a sunroof, and leather upholstery. Safety was a priority with standard safety equipment including anti-lock brakes (ABS), airbags, and a driver-side seatbelt pretensioner. However, the Alero did not receive very high safety ratings from the NHTSA and IIHS, a common problem for many vehicles in that era. Despite its appealing price point and practicality, the Alero was ultimately a victim of the shrinking Oldsmobile brand. With sales declining, General Motors discontinued the Oldsmobile brand in 2004. This marked the end of production for the Alero, leaving behind a legacy as a dependable and comfortable, albeit unspectacular, family sedan that reflected the changing tides of the American automotive landscape.
