I recall reading an article about GM cutting back on models, not companies. As such, I wouldnt expect a Firebird line at Pontiac as long as the GTO remains. If the GTO gets canned AND the Camaro sells well enough to warrant some other type of sports coupe, then maybe Pontiac will get the nod. Somehow, with gas prices the way they are, and the possibility of the Camaro fulfilling GMs road into lower cost sports cars, I doubt Pontiac will get a chance - at least not anytime soon.

Having said that, and also recalling an article about realligning the mission of each company, I'm surprised Pontiac isn't the developer of the next Gm lower cost sports coupe - being the "Driving Excitement" division.
