I love how Pontiac continues to live on! This 2.0 redo certainly is sweet and about the only thing that I would tone-down is the bat-mobile wing. Otherwise, if they built it and I had the cash it be in my garage! The wheels are really a nice update of the original snowflakes!

ARCANGEL · 11-03-2009, 02:42 PM

yea I can totally see that wing issue, I think its a bit much as well

Dana_15 · 11-03-2009, 03:13 PM

Wow, that does look pretty good!

I want to say I love this car, but the plasticky rear-end stops me from doing so

I think it's the blacked-out taillamps and giant wing that give it that effect.

This image shows the taillamps a bit better.

wow that looks really cool. much better than the 70s retro one.

Neanderthal · 11-05-2009, 10:12 AM

Jeez, somebody needs to put some lights in there.

On an allied note, IMO GM missed the boat entirely by not taking advantage of the Burt Reynolds/Loni Anderson/ Jackie Gleason Smokey movies.
Spinoffs would have made great ads, with a Camry substituted for Sheriff Buford's Bonneville police car.

But GM is dedicated to ****ty adverts, it's part of a proud tradition.

It's still '70s retro. But now it's late '70s ('77-'78) instead of early '70s ('70-'73).

I think the wing is too much. Otherwise, I like this one more than the Ligenfelter one.

This one actually looks pretty good... Much better then the one with single headlights that was going into production for an unknown and undisclosed price.

1BadPig · 11-05-2009, 02:30 PM

Nice!

I could do without the spoiler, and the decals, but otherwise it looks awesome--at least in these photos.

LoneWolf · 11-05-2009, 11:56 PM

If they fixed the taillights so they seemed to fit with the body lines more it would be perfect!
