What justin posted looks 100 times better, something that could be seen driven on the street next to the camaro for sure, and with pride.

yeah, instead of killing pontiac let's kill chevrolet instead. GM is trying to get away from shooting themselves in the foot. this is why the camaro made it and the firebird didn't.
repeat after me: pontiac is dead. the firebird and all of its iterations are dead.

to each his own. it just doesn't make any sense, financially or otherwise, to bring the firebird back. they've been saying for a while now that they were going to stop rebadging cars from one line to fill a hole in another line.

That would have been a lot better than the Mustang they used in the revised TV show.

Now THAT I could buy. It really looks like a 'Bird and not some cobbled up body kit.

I wonder what this body kit package will end up being called. I don't think they would use the name Firebird (unless GM wants to sell the the rights, not out of the question given their current cash problem). I also don't think they would call it Trans Am since the name is owned by Trans Am Racing and GM. In any case, give it time, I bet there will be several after-market companies offering body kits similar to all the pictures in this posting.

Fixed. GM paid the SCCA a $5 royalty for every T/A sold. ASC could use the name if the royalty price is not high.

Thanks. I wonder if Mopar had to pay royalty fee for every Trans Am Challenger / Cuda they sold.
In any case, I think I am getting a bit ahead of myself. All this crap is assuming GM survives past June 1st and will still be making cars.
