Thing is GM are trying to re-create the 70's look in the same way that Ford did with the Mustang and it just hasn't worked.

It looks like a blend between a Crossfire, a Mac truck and an AMC Pacer!

It's a dodgy photoshop. I think we all agree that the Camaro concept looks ace.

If they do do a Pontiac version it'll look similar to the Camaro but with a pontiac nose and probably different lights too.

The current Mustang and Camaro concept are both homages to the 60s. That Trans-Am is more like the 70s model you see ghosted behind.

My view on Pontiac styling has not been changed by this.

Im keen on a RHD Camaro. The VE might have to stay on the shelf.

That looks awesome, lose the stupid fire bird thing off the front and it looks like a proper beefed up muscle car

Hey, I recognise this post

Yep, lose the flaming chickin' and I really like this, although I reckon round lamps front and rear would help a lot.

No doubt this photoshop used both a C6 Corvette and a Ferrari 599.....but I think it works really well.

Whilst reality tells me if (and it's a BIG if) the Pontiac T/A was ever revided it would change very little from the Camaro, it'd be nice if the T/A had a bespoke body. We know it's possible, as the Camaro is heavily based on the Commodore (Zeta platform). Plus, what great tag lines the journalists could come up with.....Firebird rises from the flames....
