I don't think it would help. I'm 55, and growing up Pontiac's catch phrase was "Pontiac builds excitement". That hasn't been true, nor has the brand been marketed that way for some time. Pontiac has little street credibility any more as anything special. I like the G8 and Solstice, but that isn't much to build a business on. As for getting a Firebird, do you really think GM would let another company have access to the Camaro platform to compete with them??
