even GM would never let the firebird and camaro look that similar, it's that bad. Seemed like a good idea that was half done. Probably cost constraints. ****, at least fill in the rear quarter panel "vents." The rear end is horrible.

I like every thing but the tail lights, the spoiler, and the wheels.

Took the words out of my mouth...

I do not like the new Camaro design. This is even worse. If a new firebird/TA is produced I hope they skip over this whole, lets make it look retro but not actually accomplish that at all, and just make a new car. the 98-02s were sexy.

As a former '77 Bandit T/A owner all I have to say is...epic fail.

i more than anyone want to see the bird live again. And out of all the options ive seen to date, this.... THIS...., makes it to life? WTF???? How bout the blue one? Do they see whats going on here? They'd better step it up before we end up with multiple Trans Ams being manufactured LOL!!! No, this is bad. They didnt even bother to change teh headlights. It would look so much better with four square modern headlights. And that back end is a no no. Oh man, this hurts my heart. I hope the blue one makes it though, if nothing else, at least its a true conversion that CANT be mistaken for a camaro. Anyone caught driving this, people will think you did it all yourself in the garage and that you are an UBER poser.

I like the front and sides. The rear tailights look pretty bad though.

other than the tail, this reminds me more of a 1970 judge than a trans am.

If they do anything it should be a gen 1 firebird retro.

They shouldn't do a retro. Retro is done.

Pontiac is toast.... so it's not going to happen anyway.
