This kinda reminds me of what I heard about the downfall of the AMC Pacer. It was a cool car and a lot of people liked it. the problem was that eventually pretty much all of those people had one.
[AMC Pacer]
I actually rode in one in 1976 or so. Neighbors had rented it while their car was in the body show. It was that bland tan color with the fake woodgrain (IIRC). The color is right for sure.
Anyways, yes, it was pretty much like riding in a fishbowl on wheels.
My driving class in high school had AMC Matadors on loan from a local dealer.
When the last group got assigned, 5 of us had not joined any group. I got the three cutest girls in my class in my group. We had a lot of fun. One of the coaches, of course, was the driving instructor.
Not that I want to sound like the typical shallow guy or anything.....LOL
