Lightbulb GMC Firebird?

me and my classmates where talking about firebird/trans ams when one of my friends said "what if GM brings the firebird back but in the GMC branch?" i personaly would love it.

beside was the trans am/firebirds really hurting the camaro's sales?

That may quite possibly be the absolute dumbest suggestion I have ever heard. Sorry. Just sayin'.

Your friend needs to go and review the lineups of all four brands and ask himself or herself that question again. Exactly how does a high-performance RWD sports coupe fit in with a brand that sells trucks, SUVs, and crossovers?

Honestly I think the guys just want to see a new Trans Am/Firebird and contemplating how it could happen.

I want the Grand National back before the TA/Firebird personally though.

In all honesty, there's a better chance of a Grand National type car coming back than the Firebird.

Easily

Buick is coming to the forefront and Pontiac is dead.

What if they came out with a motorcycle and called it the Chevy Disaster. Thats pretty much how I feel about that idea.
