Quotes from article:
"There will also be one more product, a little something that will have to remain up our sleeves for the moment. All I can say now is that you won't be disappointed."

"There was a time when people lusted after Pontiac cars. The first GTO, the Firebird and Trans Am, the Fiero...when we had cars like these to bring people into your stores, sales were great. When we didn't, sales werent."


This mystery vehicle doesnt sound like the upcoming Torrent. Nice suprise to see the other great models mentioned. Sounds like Pontiac is indeed moving in the right direction.

 

yea, someone posted a pic like 2 days ago of it, wait no that was a saturn. They could be talking about a solstice or something though right?

 

Nah, the solstice is pretty big and they show it on there site. This car could be the upcoming "G8" or whatever. They havent said anything about that yet.

 

Hmmm , I guessing its a Bimmer 1 series type car of Kappa . There not getting a small car off the cobalt chassis and there hasnt been a wimper from Pontiac about a new small car , especially a RWD small sedan that actually might be pretty damn cool .

 

maybe its a firebird. hey, they could have been lying.what a coverup though.

 

XP54 based Firebird to join Camaro!

 

Doesn't sound like the Firebird considering they say the GTO and Solstice will be the Pontiac image leaders. I bet they are referring to something simple and sporty like the Pontiac G4 (the pursuit vehicle thing in Canada/Mexico).

Too bad really... I was hoping for a new Firebird/Trans Am...

 

If the name is not FIREBIRD, I'll continue my boycott of GM/Pontiac 4 LIFE.

 

Well it has to be something that pops and gets attention if that’s their plan right? Maybe a sports car based off the c6 under pinning? XLR, Corvette, ??????. I know pontiac in the 60s made a fiberglass concept car that looked just as good if not better than the corvette and GM pulled it because chevrolet was there pride and joy and no one was going to mess with the 'vette. I don't think that really applies anymore so anything is possible I guess. I'm probably completely wrong though of course... or maybe its just a GTO Judge or a G6+ (think ctsv.)

 

I say its the RWD/AWD G8 with the LS2.

 

I really do want to see the Firebird come back. It would be hard to top the late 4th gens, but if it looks anything like the Camaro concepts we've been seeing, but with more Firebird styling hues, I think it could be a freak'n awesome mean looking vehicle.

Anybody think it could be a limited production y-body?? (Before somebody goes ape sh.. on me, I highlighted "LIMITED" for you so you know I'm not talking about some huge mass production being added to the plant) Remember GM has been touting about how their going to do this "rapid-fire" new product thing...imagine a Pontiac styled 'Vette type thing

 

Probably a Turbo GXP Solstice

 

with a saab powertrain?

 

Probably Turbo 2.4L Ecotec

 

Maybe there is going to be a special edition pink aztek with purple racing stripes to celebrate its final year.
