TA Concept
Its just a crying shame this vehicle will not be on the market  What a sick looking vehicle!!!!!!I would get rid of everything but my 2001 Formula to buy it if it was in production.

They count this as a post. But on topic that firebird is so perfect. Modern design meets some old school design.

I am sorry, but I had to do it. It just looks amazing. I can just imagine that bird sitting in my garage.

it looks like the same old pic that has been cycled around since they started talking about bringing the camaro back. it isn't a consept, it is a cartoon. they aren't going to build it unless by some miracle someone can provide a multimillion dollar positive margain per month market to buy it. reality is, that market doesn't exist if you try to overlap the camaro and a firebird model.

licensing has nothing to do with it, the fee is only $5 per unit. the problem is that if you build two cars with the same target audience, in similar price ranges, on the same platform, you aren't going to sell enough cars to justify all the extra development, testing, tooling, and having to build mirror production lines.
you would have to be able to prove the market, or at least market share, would double based on the introduction of the second platform. it isn't going to happen.
camaro is also the more marketable title and leaves a second tier performance vehicle in the chevy line up. pontiac is going upscale performance, an entry level sports coupe doesn't have a home in the latest evolution of the brand.
