Pontiac R.I.P.

Pontiac was like the polite, quiet middle child who ran away to California in the early sixties, became a huge star, crashed in 1970, and played the county fair nostalgia circuit ever since. In between repeated bouts in rehab. --Paul Niedermeyer, General Motors Death Watch 246, at The Truth About Cars

That's a very, very good analogy.

When Pontiac lost its way, it became an also-ran against a boatload of furriner-competitors; Acura in the "pops and Granny" group, and BMW for the younger hot-rods.
