GMI's Revitalization in Action | The Dream Pontiac Lineup

w00t on the firebird

[Sporer65]

The GTO is awesome. The Firebird has to much 99 Concept GTO, The G8 should be called the Grand Prix, and the G6 has a weird grill. Just my two cents though.

yeah thats how I think, MUSCLE cars have to have "I'll kick your butt!" stamped all over it!
thats part of what they are all about, and of course back in the day it was all about looking meaner than the next

The GTO & Firebird concept pics are amazing...big props to whoever did them. G8 & G6 aren't bad either! Why can't one division be run by GMI and see what happens?

Now you sound like a caller to a sports radio station who thinks he can run the team.

I don't like the Firebird. It looks like an armored car, like it's supposed
to be bullit proof, or deflect radar signals or something. Maybe it
just needs a machine gun turret on the roof.

The GTO looks pretty cool, but the front end is a little over done.
I think it borders on Hotwheels or maybe even Johnny Lightning
designs.

Seriously, good efforts, just need some tweaking.

This is my favorite concept of a future TA. I think I would have to have one if it looks as good as this one.

As far as the concepts at the start of the thread, I liked the bird and GTO, The G8 has a nice euro look to it, but with a US muscle kinda flare.

The 2010 G6 makes me kind of ill, it is not IMO the direction pontiac needs to be looking for 2010.

[Paul_2001_GT_Conv]

I humbly disagree with cc1999. I think the G8 and the G6 concepts are exactly where Pontiac needs be heading.

The American car companies need cars that are uniquely American in design. It's a niche that only we Americans have and we should exploit it to it's fullest advantage in order to bring sales numbers back up.

Oh, and kudos to those that created the images. They are fantastic and have given us all a lot to comment about.

I like this (the lights/grills that is).. maybe someone with photoshop skills could do something with it. it's a Alfa Romeo Autodelta Brera J5 3.2 C

Can be seen at RSportsCars.com

5 speed manual for the firebird is wrong

Because I could. Really any simple minded individual who is somewhat in tune w/ the auto industry and what is "hot" on the streets could be just what pontiac needs. So would you tell me that you would rather keep the current lineup (excluding Solistice) in comparision to the proposed GMI lineup?

Jim Rome out.

I really apreseate that last comment of yours,
thats the right way to look at it, and they have given everyone something to talk about and thats part of what its all about

[Mr. Burns]

pretty sweet, i think your first two chops should be the new face of pontiac. However, i dont think the G8 would fit in that lineup style wise.

oh, and i dont really like that G6.

nonetheless, very good job fellas!

I hate to be a naysayer, but Hyundai makes Buick-y looking cars already, and Mitsubishi has made Pontiac-ish looking cars for years. Similarly, you can now buy "Cruiser" style Neo-Harleys from all the Japanese makers.

It was once said that the Japanese were particularly good at copying and usually improved on what they were copying - Lexus is a perfect example of aiming for Mercedes and actually hitting something better.

Besides aren't US based stylists just basically copying Detroit with retro designs anyway?

There is absolutely nothing stopping Hyundai from turning the Tiburon into a retro muscle car.

[HoeyHimself]

I just dont get why anyone would think that a new Firebird should have a smaller motor then the last Firebird...that makes no sense.
