OMG, They look like the new Camaro's. If anything they need to make a totally different design. GM should bring back the 98-02 body style with the WS6 package, and make minor changes. But I am still voting for "Keep a legend a legend and let it be" type scenario.

The middle one is best in my opinion, but they are all ugly. They are gonna ruin the looks of the TA....

the first one has a whole lot of gto in it imo...the second one looks pretty good but have to say the 02's have the best body by far...and the last one looks like a damn 300 C got ahold of a colorin boook

They look exactly what you can buy at any Ford dealership, and what you'll be able to buy (eventually) at any Dodge, or Chevy dealer. | |

Making it look like a 4th gen would be rediculous. It was the worst selling gen F-Body, why bring that back?
The last one isn't based off anything other than a early 2nd gen TA. Where you get Mustang and 300 from is anybody's guess.
The best concept for a Firebird is the Camaro. Leave it at that. The Firebird never really sold well after the 70's. Why bring back a failure in sales?
And before I get flamed, I've had both a 89 TTA and 96 WS6 as well as a 84 Z28. Pontiac doesn't need boy racer cars anymore. G8, Ute, GTO...that will just about cover all the segments it needs to compete.

He just slapped a Firebird-esque frontend on it.

The 2010 camaro, and firebird concepts... are disgusting. I'll never buy one. I'll stick with my 02 Hawk. I agree with whoever said they should keep the 4th gen concept and just remodel it a little. IMO though.. lol

Heck, even my wife thought the 3rd one looked like a Mustang, her exact words..."It looks like an 05 Mustang." | |

Look at the wheel well lips, gas cap, pillar, angle of the back...etc. The Mustang doesn't have those in comparing the two.
If he used the Mustang, then he really is good because it doesn't look like it at all.

OK, I'm done arguing this stupid point, it's clearly an 05+ Mustang, and here is the exact Mustang picture he used. Thanks for playing.  | |

The third one is clearly based off the Mustang. End of discussion. Thank you.

Like I said, if that was based off a Mustang, he has talent. The first two didn't take a lot of work to do. The last completely redid everything.
Still ugly...all of them, but that was the worst of the bunch.
