Default 2015 Trans Am

Okay. Is it true? I've heard this since Pontiac Shut Down. But it seems it's getting more hype this time around. More websites are saying so and giving stats about it. Is it real? I've always denied it, but I'm not sure. If it is, someone show me legit proof. Not just some website describing it. Cause all the websites I've seen just have Trans Am Depot's kit for the Camaro.

I don't want to shoot down the idea but I highly doubt it. I think GM would have to bring back the Pontiac name in order to bring the TA back and it just doesn't seem like they are close to doing that yet, otherwise it would be a Chevy Trans Am? or a Buick or Cadillac Trans Am? Doesn't seem right.

that's what I've always said. I just don't see it happening. 9/10 times when a brand is dead, it stays that way.

I don't see it happening. If Pontiac was coming back, there would be more than rumors in my opinion.

If it does come back itll probably be limited run and cost a fortune. But a lot of people would buy it. I would if i had the money

Don't get me wrong I'd absolutely love GM to bring Pontiac back but I doubt it will happen anytime soon. Not sure what will be their "performance division" now that they're killing Holden as well. I just hope they keep Holden's design team.

Doubt it will happen, but if even it were to happen the prices would be crazy.

I have been tempted for awhile now to pick up a 5th gen and convert it. Especially now that prices are really starting to go down.

An expensive undertaking, I would think. Beyond that, one could hope that seeing beyond ObamaAutoCare, GM could license a Pontiac version to be sold through Buick/GMC dealers, ala SLP/ASC conversions. Not likely ...
