The more I see it, the more I dislike that Firebird. As well as the more I think about it, the more I can't see a business case for the 'Bird.

But, I really think there should be a Firebird, built on KappaII, with a AWD option, styled like an evolution of the Solstice (basically replacing the Solstice), 2+2 seating, with small rear suicide doors (a'la: the Mazda RX-8)

That would be a mean car, and distance itself enough from the Camaro, that it could stand and fight on it's own. Actually, with the right engine, and smaller size, I could see a Firebird like that out-lasting the Camaro.

But, I'm getting horribly off-topic. Cheers once again to the people involved. This is an amazing line up.
