There was no Firebird in development alongside the Camaro. What you posted is an aftermarket job.

Pontiac only had two decent cars at the end: G8 and Solstice. G8 was sold under the wrong division from the start, had it been badged a Chevy, it would have received much more brand exposure, advertising dollars, and probably would have seen increased sales. GM lost money with every Solstice built.

Plus, Pontiac had no overseas exposure outside North America. Couple that with the fact that a crapload of G6s and G5s were going to fleet, GM had good reason to kill Pontiac.
