Its sad, but Pontiac stopped being relevant and now its just overlap.
The overlap and loss of image of the brand is a mess that GM created. How do you hand a brand the title of "Excitement Division" then stop advertising and racing it?

They screwed the pooch and it all started a long time ago. Just took a while for the sum total of the mess to get noticed or become important enough for them to bother doing anything about. Now that time is at hand and it is way too late.

GM made the mess and soon they won't be a company of any kind anymore. Congrats to them for making a mess of every individual brands image to the point that they are all meaningless in the broader market.
