Default Any word on T/A concept ?

I'm kind of hoping that G.M will just unveil a T/A concept at a auto show just to see reaction ? Like the Black and gold Smokey and the Bandit version pic I've seen floating around. Anyone hear anything ?
Thanks
Ron H.
p.s. Not that ugly 2011 concept on the other thread, the one based off the Camaro.

lol If you've read this forum, then you already know that there is no concept, or even rumor yet for any variant of a Firebird.

There is no Firebird concept, and no plans for one.

Every concept drawing out there is just that, a drawing.

No plans for a GTO either, right?

GM Puts RWD on the back burner

With that news I wouldn't expect anything to new to show up other than the usual Camaro and G8 stuff.

With the new aim that GM is taking with Pontiac to move everything over to a RWD performance car, which the above news really doesn't help them, I wouldn't put it too far out of reach quite yet.

My understanding was the G8 was to be a four door GTO, and a two door version was to be called... the GTO.

As I said in the other thread, the G8 is going to be it for performance Pontiacs for now. Every day it becomes more clear that a new GTO is dead.
