Many of you would already have heard about the return of the Chevy Camaro, and that seems to be getting other car makers juices going into pushes out some old favorites. One of these favorites is the Pontiac, although they have tried to bring this car out before it failed to warm the hearts of the Americans, unlike the much welcomed Ford Mustang.
It is hoped that a new Pontiac will hit the streets in 2010 but one question remains, and that is what they would badge the automobile under. They could call it a Firebird, or maybe they could call it a GTO.
The future sports coupe is expected to have a choice of two engines, one would be a 3.6-liter DOHC V-6 which pushes out 261-hp, but another could be a 6.0-liter V8 option. The new Pontiac is expected to have a choice of either a five or six-speed automatic gearbox.
So would you rather a GTO or Firebird?

Well I don’t know what I would call the car, but I would call Burt an assclown.
GTO ALL DAY EVERY DAY. It is a legendary car.
the firebird is a legend not the gto. the firebird looks better and it is faster.
sorry but in my eyes it has every right to be called a firebird. when the newer gto came out a couple years back, it wasnt much of a success that pontiac was looking for. so y not give the firebird a resurection and try and come back? think about it, the mustang camaro and firebird where the three best american made cars ever. the mustang continues its saga, and the camaro is going to come back. so y not give the firebird its 2nd life?
FIREBIRD
GTO. I’ve seen some other concept designs for a new firebird, and they look more like a Firebird than this one does. bring em both back! Legends never die…
i agree with rob it suould be a firebird because they arlready have a newer GTO and it wasnt the best seller. They should bring back the muscle name “firebird” and more will sell because of the name and the looks just add more buyers too.
Firebird
Firebird would be better, and theres a phoenix on the hood which is a firebird trademark. So im thinking it is a firebird.
id rather have the firebird because the gto was already brought back and it didnt sell so i think the fire bird will sell because its an amazing car and it needs a second chance to thrive again
i’d rather have the firebird. the gto was hideous and it looked like a glorified cavalier stretched with rwd and a big v8 in it. BRING BACK THE FIREBIRD!
