We'll have to wait and see. But from the poor grammar & misspellings, I'm skeptical on the truthfulness of the rumor. Plus, they make it sound as if the Firebird & Trans Am are totally separate cars. Seems a little fishy to me...

Those are some pretty cool renderings but I have never heard anything coherent from that website

Looks like basically what the one guy here has been doing. Making GTOs and Firebirds from the Camaro. But those look decent.

They should definitely bring back the Firebird/Trans Am.
Those renderings look damn good, and it would cost GM next to nothing change the Camaro's bodywork and interior to make a new Firebird.
Hopefully they will get the hint and actually so it. | |

That car is ugly as hell...there will never be a better looking bird than the 98-02 WS6, and the 73' SD 455...please don't try to combine them.
It looks like they combined a 78' with a 3rd gen, with the new 2009 Camaro fender flares, which are greatly over-exaggerated. | |

I wouldn't put too much stock in that rendering - looks like somebody got drunk one night and decided to make a poster. I will remain optimistic, but not because of this poster.

I guess you have to jump in the window duke style...and after it rans you might have a swimming pool on the roof.
I hate seeing concept drawing that don't realistically show where the body panels would meet in a production car... | |

I've always thought that these cars had untouchable style. What if they were to redesign the style of the 98/02's, it might have a different appeal. In other words .. perfect the perfected. By NOT following Ford and Dodge (going totally "retro"), Pontiac has an opportunity to stand alone. BTW, no V-6's .. all or nothing!
