I love the hood. But other than that it looks like somebody puked on a new Camaro.

I like everything but the back. I have no idea what they were thinking there...

...Pontiac is dead?
I thought it was going to be an independent company making conversions?

That's horrible. Maybe with some changes it would look good, but as a concept, that's a no-go.

So, they cut a hole in the stock hood...put a small section in the center of the grille and put some ugly tail covers on the back and call it a Trans AM? Mega fail. Pontiac is dead and PLEASE just let the Firebird (Trans AM) die with it.

i am a camaro owner and lover and love trans ams just as much (want a firehawk someday
) but that thing is fugly... a new trans am deserves much better than that front end could be ok, but they should add another headlight or something, and they just need to scrap that back end and that spoiler that sticks straight up too

Get rid of the rear wing, and aim the tailpipes straight out back and it would look better. I'd still drive it though. TRANS AM is always > CAMARO!

Some small changes as suggested above, and why not. ditch the small trans am logo on the front looks kinda of misplaced.

Looks like a camaro with a cheesy bird decal. Terrible concept IMO, we are taking a Camaro designed to look like a 1st gen and then putting some cheesy 2nd gen Trans Am garnishes on it, the meshing of generations just looks horrible. I see no new ideas on this car, just a rehash of 1970's Trans Am styling cues.
