That front end kinda makes me want to

tylermoore · 03-04-2009, 10:46 PM

nice find although i think it looks a little over the top

TJ91 · 03-04-2009, 10:47 PM

I had this pic of a guy standing next to bumblebee, well i think it was bumblebee because it was that colour, but it was photoshopped amazingly, it looked like a real firebird concept, amazing, ill try to find the pic again

Well thats not a GM rendering its a private company ASR taking the current CAMARO and firebirding it to coin a phrase... I think GM's would look more Akin to our car like some of the chops on this forum.... JINX were you at???

i heard about them ressurecting the firebird about 2 months ago but i i didnt think anything of it, cus like he said, it wasnt from GM but the car looked nice.

I read it in a magazine i have laying around somewhere

Would love a resurrection but I agree, not liking that front end at all. This also seems like it would compete with the camaro too much

ArcAngel · 03-04-2009, 10:58 PM

The front end comes from the 60's TA's guess they wanted to stick with that era

It's all good but one of the things that attracted me to the camaro was its uniqueness. If GM starts using it to bring sales for the other division, the Camaro will loose its appeal. I would probably sell my Camaro and get a Porche.:(

ArcAngel · 03-04-2009, 11:09 PM

Yes I agree but if the exterior is as different although not the same as the ASR concept in the above link and interior looks completely different, with a different horsepower ratio on the engines who would even know. It would be like two different cars

Silver Streak · 03-04-2009, 11:15 PM

Do we really think this is one of GM's plans?

ArcAngel · 03-04-2009, 11:17 PM

No, but do we really thing GM has a plan for Pontiac beside letting it shrink right now

CommandoSS · 03-04-2009, 11:17 PM

Isn't GM scaling Pontiac back?

That's what I heard. I don't think a new Firebird will ever see the light of day. I wish it would though.
