    Pontiac Hellcat

    So here's another for Pontiac. A bit more aggressive this time around.

    Awesome, the roof spoiler looks a little out of place but its growing on me.

    The roof spoiler looks cool, but it makes the car look like a child's toy.

    Front end kind of has a bee, or wasp, thing going on. I'm not sure if it looks good or not.

    I love the tall headlights and wide Pontiac grille. I really hope they go back to a look like that.

    I have to agree wit the others on the roof thingy. Not really diggin it, but it's concept car-ish, so it's OK. The Opel Antara GTC 2door concept thing had something liek that, that it didn't need and didn't get in production (it also got 4 doors).



    EDIT: Hmmm, I just noticed it has vents/portholes similar to the new LaCrosse. I wonder if some Mini-Enclave could come of this still...

    I like it a lot! I'd love to see a production vehicle (perhaps something Tigra-sized) taking cues from this concept!

    That thing is so good looking it's a crime it's not in production.

    also has the side vents/headlights of the vue and srx.

    but back to the Hellcat. To me, it looks like the Solstice grew some balls. Not saying there's anything wrong with the solstice i like it alot, all curve and voluptuous and what not, its unique. But i think this fits with Pontiacs performance thieme..or ex-theme..or whatever they're doing now.

    I like it as a whole, but the headlights look too buggy to me and the thing on the roof looks weird.

    I like the inverted hood (reverse cowl induction hood design), the pointed nose, the deep recessed grilles and the fender flares.

    I like it, it has a Scion TC meets 77-78 Firebird look to it, that would work as a small hip low priced hatch for Pontiac, lots of standard features, the option of a manual or auto and color should be the only options, price it around $18,000 and base it on Delta II and you would have a winner.

    I'm not a fan of the headlights, but I love it otherwise.

    I concur.

    I suggest redoing the headlights & leaving the rest as it is.

    Good job!



    .
    IF It's A Chevrolet & RWD, Don't ride in it!!!

    ALL Chevy's NEED to be FWD/F-AWD!!!

    If it's a Toyota/Lexus/Scion, Don't ride in/drive it!!

    I really like the grill. Wouldn't mind seeing a grill design like that become the "new" Pontiac look. It would keep the split grill design theme which Pontiac has had for decades but would break with the Grand Am, GTO look.
