pontiac has the solstice to play with, they do need to axe the GTO, whats chevy got.. besides the flagship corvette which will almost never die. hmm maybe chevy should bring back the Nova and try selling it in mexico again, haha.

You can never tell. GM is notorious for saying one thing and doing the other. I don't think it's a matter of the two cars competing with each other. The Firebird and Camaro were both around for 33 years together and they both sold well respectively. There's a lot of people who probably like the Camaro Concept, but won't buy one when it comes out for the fact that they're waiting for a Firebird or T/A to come out.

I agree. If u remember way back to 1967... The Firebird came out later than the Camaro. Hmmm History repeats itself. The shaker hood on that concept is ginormously sexy. Even more sexier than Neons.

Me! I am a pontiac guy to the heart but I would get a marro in a heart beat, but killing the firebird T/A FOR EVER! and having a camaro would KILL me

well, alot of GM big wigs, when asked if the the Firebird was never coming back, responded with "never say never", or "never is a really long time".

i know they are planning soemthing for Pontiac based off the Camaro's chassis, right now it'll probably be the GTO, but things can change.

well,




<----she says GM should can Pontiac too, like oldsmobile

Brando56894 01-13-2006 06:12 PM

i love firebirds, but i dont like that concept at all, looks way too much like a camaro. outta the 5th gen concepts id say the camaro takes the cake. that firebird/TA concept looks almost exactly like the camaro, thats what i like about the fourth gens the firebird and camaro look completely different (well compared to the other gens). i say if the bring it back (which i hope they do) they should make it look alot different and make it stand out. i agree they should ditch the GTO, for the ppl that like GTOs, get an old one...

Yes sir..

The 4th gen is a good example..you could of bought a badass looking pony car complete with a sexy wrap around wing and a uber sexy ram air hood

...or a chrysler sebring. :(


:D

Either way i think the new camaro concept is preety sweet and if they bring back the ta aswell i think its a much bettter idea..

But did anyone else catch the message to dodge and gm that PHR was sending out in the newest issue?

Sums it up right there if you ask me

Ok, the new camaro is nice and all... but if there was even the slight chance a T/A might come back (which is 99% doubtful), id be all over it. That first pic is just plain sexy.

78camaro 01-13-2006 11:11 PM

the yellow ss looks sick i think it has the t/a beat but the first pick of the t/a looks awesome

HEHEHEHEHEHHEHEHEHHEHEHEHEHEHEHE :rofl: why do my headlights work fine? :huh: 21 years old! :nod: o great I probably just jinxed my self

Brando56894 01-14-2006 12:54 AM

my headlights work fine too! but then again my car is only like 4 years old..

WayFast84 01-14-2006 01:03 AM

Yeh but still thats 2 peoples who headlights work :nod: What a shock :moon:

Jersey_TA 01-14-2006 11:51 AM

I absolutely love the T/A concept, and I like the maro.

on a headlight note, mine have been going in and out over the past year along with 2 of my friends with 4th gen ls1 T/As :( I'm ordering new motors when I get back from deployment.

PBodyGT87 01-14-2006 12:25 PM

T/A's look way sexier than the camaro. Always have. I don't think GM ever would, nor should, can the Pontiac division. That T/A concept looks way too much like the camaro. I'm actually disappointed with the new camaro concept. I don't like the grill, and the whole body style in general looks too hefty. It's grazing the lines of the 04 mustang. It just yells: Fat Pony Car. I was hoping it would look a little more sleek. Everything Chevy seems to come out with has that Fat-Futuristic look. I'm not diggin it so much anymore. THe new concept is cool, i just think they could have done a little better.

turbo96z28 01-14-2006 12:32 PM

got another one from over at LS1Tech.com.
