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?

FIREBIRD BABY!
i think they should bring them both back. they both along with the mustang, were the hottest muscle cars on the streets.
Have you guy thought about using the Trans Am name plate
I would love to see a new Firebird.
Pontiac has the GTO already!
And they should make the TransAm version with a 6.6L V8 the way the “77″ TransAm was when Smokey and the Bandit came out
it should be called Trans AM i have a 77 and i love it so why not but if i had to choose it would be fire bird
i like this Jeremy Kohut Guy he knows what he is talking about
it should be called a firebird b/c we already have a new GTO and it wasnt that great!!
YEA I THINK IT SHOULD BE THE FIREBIRD….ONLY THING IS WILL THIS VEHICLE LOOK THE SAME WHEN RELEASED. THIS IS A GREAT LOOKING CONCEPT BUT ALL KNOW THAT THE CONCEPT ALWAYS LOOK BETTER THAT THE RELEASED. AND LIKE MANY OF SAID THE GTO HAD ITS TURN AND DIDNT DO WELL AT ALL!!
If the pontiac ever flies like in the movies we
may be turning around.
I agree with Brett - bring them both back, the 65 GTO rocked!! However, I am personally partial to the Firebird - I have owned 2 of them and my 95 with a 6 speed (I know and chickened out to push any further) would do 135 without missing a lick. I am a grandmother and still love fast cars - grew up when cars WERE cars!!
