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?

this is a bad ass car and i want one. i want it to be called the GTO.
Iwould call it a gto because,I have a gto and it got the look. the fast look like a gto.
Firebird! I mean, what’s cooler, Firebird, or GTO? let the bird fly again!
hello GTO!!!! my dad has a 1970 gto and its badass. and the gto is often called the FIRST muscle car ever! GTO all the way sorry
GM is crazy not to make a firebird. It would look like the 68 firebird forreal!!!!!
firebird is another word for Phoenix. so if the firebird is a phoenix then it should rise from the ashes and start anew.
It should be the Firebird. I still have my 91 firebird and these cars are classic American muscle. GTO had it’s chance for a resurrection and that ended with a loud resounding flop. I do believe the good old bird would make a fabulous come back.
FIREBIRD, firebird is a car that has looks and performance. It has always been camaro, firebird, mustang…in my opinion gm being better. If gm wants to survive they need to sport cars to compete with the mustang
Except Pontiac is done. Never again. Like AMC.
well i think it should be firebird because its a legendary car think back to ur childhood and sitting with grandpa watching smokey and the bandit….well its a really popular car with teens and they like them and older guys like in there 50s who are retired will buy it because it reminds them of when they were young takeing out the firebird and racing there friends….im just saying people have memmories with the firebird not so much with the gto… the gto was a nice car but didnt have the flair every one was looking for
