GM has already said the Firebird is not happening. I think Scott said it too. Basically, badge engineering a Camaro clone with different styling would serve absolutely no point. An Alpha platform small RWD Pontiac is coming out, but from what I've heard, due to the new CAFE regulations all GM RWD projects besides Alpha, Sigma, the Camaro, G8, and one or two other Zeta cars for Cadillac and possibly Buick are now on hold.

Pontiac's forecasted future product introductions are the G8 wagon and possibly Ute variants, the Alpha car, and a coupe and/or targa Solstice variant. The plan for combining Buick, Pontiac, and GMC outlets calls for limited lineups for each brand, so I think this is the extent of what we'll see for Pontiac in the next few years.
