can you even imagine how cool it would be if our cars were brought back and that is what they looked like? Those concept pictures are f'n awesome, I just hope they dont screw around too much and change it!! By the way it looks good as a Pontiac too! I'm forever Z28 though!!

Damn straight. To hell with the camaro. Can't have that without it's rightful twin!

That concept re-tread is cool man. Now if you could dump the chevy chrome bar from the grill it would be that much better. Just imagine that with even more of a 67 front end (with the center coming out a bit in a beak-like fashion), and maybe with a touch of 4th Gen hourglass figure.....

I think this would be closer to what I would like to see. However, the striped need to go as those scream Camaro. I just don't have the skills to remove them.

Pontiac will not use the firebird name again. The Pontiac version will be a GTO

thats better but the worry i have with all this "new" camaro talk and everything is , if you try to make it look to "futuristic" itll look cool on paper but would probaly end up looking kinda "importish" going down the rooad, or look to much like the new mustang or something

Looks good but the front end looks too much like the 98-02 model. I noticed the rest of the body looks similar to the Camaro concept. If Pontiac builds that I wouls buy it for sure!
