I wouldn't dream they would bring back the Bird before the Camaro, but i'm new to this sort of thing so i dont know. As long as it doesen't suck. I'm trying to be a GM guy... I really am.

 

Ya... Im thinking a RWD Bonneville replacement, with optional AWD and Gen IV V8s... Of course, this IS GM, so expect a torque-managed 4 speed slushbox, even though by the time it debuts, there'll be a wonderful 5 or 6 speed auto sitting in the parts bin, right next to the abandoned manuals...

 

He mentioned GTO and Trans Am like they were separate cars. He also pointedly references "cars that brought people into the showroom.

Because of this, my belief he isn't talking about sedans, and the fact that Solstice & GTO are going to be the 2 excitement cars at Pontiac, I suspect he is talking about a very high performance and affordable Solstice, possibly based on the hardtop concept version of a few years ago.

 

If that comes true, I'll be first in line to buy one. I love the solstice, but I really want a hard top version. Add high-performance + affordable? SOLD!

 

Come on... you're pulling my leg... you actually like the hardtop solstice concept?

It's so awkward! It looks just like one of those old Cheetahs.

Ah...please remember to try and devide old GM from new GM.
Zeta would be new GM, and is designed to use the new 6spd auto trans, because Holden doesnt wait for GM to move along with technology, they do it themselves.

 

Since we are on the subject of Pontiac, did anyone notice the full page ad in USA Today on Thursday 9/30 highlighting the fact that they have won 5 of 9 races in the mid-engine rolex series (their 1st year of competition in this new series). Interesting they chose to re-enter mid-engine racing now?

 

I'd probably crap my pants if it turned out to be the firebird. I bet everybody else on this site would as well. Therefore, I'd say it's going to turn out like the Capone safe.

Now here's a question, would people wait for the Camaro if the Firebird came back first?

 

I would...

I wonder if any of this has to do with Guys Newsflash... ??

 

I'd wait for the Camaro, the Firebird has always been too aggressive for me. Oh, plus they usually cost more and cost more to insure. But... I'd still crap my pants either way.

 

Sure, could be...

What's the temperature in Hell?


Might be fun to see a certain VLE's reaction if it got pushed through though.

 

Easy big guy... anything Solstice makes my wife's loins quiver.

F**k that up for me and we're gonna have us a problem...

 

considering the cheetah was a styling inspiration for the solstice, i wouldnt doubt some similairities(sp)

 

Oh... then they did a good job of that!

 

It's not necessarily that I liked the hard tops design better, but I do think it looks good from the front. I more or less just prefer the higher rigidity/less weight that a hard top usually provides.
