The end: maybe not
Gm can always bring back the Pontiac brand sometime in the future when the economy is strong and there is a demand for modern muscle cars. It is very possible to see its return. I remember when I was in my 20's and thought how cool would it be to build a retro Mustang, Camaro, Trans am etc. I felt the car should look very close to the original. But the car should have all the modern upgrades suspension, engine, drive train, etc. so the car would have the retro looks but present technology. Back in that time people laughed and said that will never happen, car companies want to move forward with design not back. Well just look at the Mustang, Challenger, new Camaro. And if things went as planed Pontiac would have made a retro Trans am modeled after the 77 Bandit style but that didn't happen. Maybe someday. As for the camaro, GM could have done better with styling in my opinion. The Mustang, well ford got it right. The Challenger dodge pegged it, the only problem in my opinion is those huge 20 inch wheels. They just don't look right on that car; 17's would have been the way to go. Save those big 20's for the 300c cars.
