I have only ever seen one 2+2 in person, nice car!! The G body is my personal favourite, but I have the Chevy Monte SS. I always wanted to have a 2+2 and a GNX to add to my collection. I would have went after an Aerocoupe but I hear the rear window is hard to replace if need be.

I like the Trans Am and those Fiero's were pretty neat despite their issues.

Yeah, I wish my wife was 110lb with double D's, but that not going happen any time soon.

I agree though, Pontiac was my favorite GM brand. I had many Trans Ams over the years.

What about the Lingenfelter Camaro concept?

I've always been more of a sucker for Trans Ams then for Camaros.

Pontiac had nothing to do with building that car.
It is just a customized Camaro.

Exactly!
Anybody can have one if they want.
I think it was Lingenfelter, not sure. But they had this car on the 2010 Power Tour.

A Camaro seams to be like a lego ,you can put it together any way you want ,you can keep building and building

or should I say Burger King you can have it your way

Selling a lot of cars and selling a lot of cars at a profit is where the difference lies. Hyundai sold half the number of cars but yet made the same amount of profit as us last year. That's why our new motto is Design, Build, and Sell the World's Best Vehicles at a profit.

You see a ton of G6s that were great fleet vehicles, but we don't get a lot of profit off of fleet sales if I understand the system correctly.

Yeah I also wish Pontiac was still around. I can hardly wait till I get my 66 Tempest/LeMans out again. I have been doing a Resto/Mod of it for about 10 yrs. I have owned it for about 22 yrs. I miss driving it. Soon I hope.

My wife drives an 04 Grand Am SC/T

I wish pontiac was still around, but that Camaro/TA conversion looks horrible in my opinion.

I would much rather see a completely different vehicle apart from the Camaro/TA concept looking thing.

looks like all you need is a front fascia, hood, and emblems

The G8 was a fine lookin' machine

G6 was the biggest fleet queen ever. Pontiac as a whole was fairly unprofitable.

I see more grand ams and grand prixs combined than other cars these days, at least in my work parking lot.

I have a friend that is sad that she can't get another pontiac ever again unless it's used. I think she's driving a gxp right now.

mhood · 03-15-2012, 09:57 AM

I wish Plymouth was still around making Barracudas and Roadrunners...those two are missed in the muscle car gene pool.

:(

Ject · 03-15-2012, 10:00 AM

G8 was probably the only car Pontiac made that was nice. (Just my opinion)
