I guess we all see things from a different angle. I would also say Pontiac had a few, but overall there were too many misses with it's bread and butter cars which keep a car company ALIVE. The big cars and intermediates lost ground. The intermediates of the second half of the decade and the next were lost to Cutlass and Pontiac's version of the Nova never made a impression like Omega and Skylark did with what little they could do with most of the styling being already done by Chevrolet. I really wanted to buy a Phoenix, but couldn't get round that battering ram front end grille. Olds and Buick had a more Seville looking ft. end which was popular at the time. Seville is a great riding/not so much sport handling looking 11" stretch X body known as K body. It's problem is 1,000 lbs. more weight. But like I said afore, some of those parts just bolt into a X body which make it nice for people like me who think a car should handle and brake as well as it's ability to go fast. GM had a enormous parts bin to choose from, you just needed to know which parts were which and then make a good car even better.
