Pontiac will be reduced to maybe only two vehicles.
Saab is going to be run as it's own company attached to GM.
Hummer still can't find a new owner.
Saturn might go to some Chinese automaker.

Please...no. It's ugly...

I like the Firebird, but I hope they don't bring it back. I don't think they will with the way they're taking the Pontiac brand.

Never2LowChevy · 01-25-2009, 03:38 AM

I like'em. I like the first one the most though.

Supermans · 01-25-2009, 03:42 AM

I love the look of the second one the best.. There is another floating around that I like as well. It would be a great idea to bring back the firebird as a re-badged Camaro in a few years after the Camaro fever has died down a bit..

The black and yellow ones above are the ones I like the best

As been said numerous times by GM's employees....There are "NO" plans in the works for a Firebird or TransAm.

Also, thread merged.

we keep resurecting the dead around here, as much as I love the firebird it will probably never come back unless they do limited runs with the camaro hardware. When GM sold 1/4 million camaros having another car based on it was no bid deal, but in recent years when they've strugled to sell 50 thousand its not worth the hastle and money to do so and esentialy compete with itself. Maybe some day if sales continue to be good.

I know this isn't super relevant, but went to the beach yesterday, only to see a car i didn't recognize. I investigated, and found it to be a Commodore SS which someone imported.

Yes i know that 99% of the cars are the same, but that 1% that is different makes the Aussie Version much better looking IMO.

If Pontiac does come out with the G8 coupe, and they carry over the different interior options that are available in aussland to keep the new coupe fresh, its going to be one NICE car.

Slip off the brake and bury the throttle. There's a light chirp as tires scratch for bite. Then comes a sub-5.0-second sled ride to 60 mph. A tick over 13.0 sec. and you're through the quarter-mile. It's a rush, of course, but not overly dramatic. Try the same thing with this pair's predecessors of 1970 or so and you'll find yourself in a bit of a wrestling match. Ain't progress wonderful? Maybe yes, and maybe sometimes it's fun to wrestle."
