It's no secret that General Motors is working on a new Pontiac coupe based on the 2009 Chevrolet Camaro. What's less certain is the name of the vehicle. GM Vice Chairman Bob Lutz has referred to project with the GTO moniker, but some recent reports have suggested the Firebird name will be used instead. On October 6th, 2006, General Motors' "Firebird" trademark will be 'published for opposition' — a required step in the trademark process. While the automaker has long held rights to the name, the recent republication seems to suggest the nameplate could be revived. Meanwhile, the automaker also reregistered the Fiero name in late June. We can only imagine the name might be intended for the much-rumored Pontiac Solstice coupe. However, there's little evidence to back this hypothesis.

i dont think they are saying that it CHEVY version wont be the camaro. they are talking about PONTIAC version of that same platfrom. one vote for the firebird here.

Re: Read Me

its bittersweet... the firebird might make an appearance but then what'll happen to the GTO? we'll be stuck with a Holden again :cry: and if they make a firebird outta the solstice platform i'll go buy a mustang outta spite for GM.

no offense to u but i hate gm for replacing a car like firebird for a car like gto cuz i think gto is not as great a car as firebird and i think its had more success then gto so why they even brought back the gto i dunno but it was a waste cuz 70% of people say they dont like it and i sure dont think its close to the classic gto's either

Re: Read Me

the gto is a great car. everything about it is excellent. i think people who dont like it are the ones who havent ever rode in one or at least sit in one. when gm brought it back it was never intended to be the muscle car that the firebird was. thats somehthing alot of people misinterpret about it coming back. they are probably one of the best put together cars gm has ever built honestly.

and youre damn right im a bird fan!!!! i told my wife that when i die i dont want a casket to be buried in. just get me a nice 1st gen bird, put me in it, seal it up, and bury me in the car.

Re: Read Me

i agree with the bibbster on the GTO thing. i thought they were ugly as sin when they first came out. once the new hood got on the 05's ( i think it was 05 ) and i sat in one, and saw a few driving around, and REALLY looked at them i now love them. amazing cars, and for the price your stupid for NOT buying one.

Re: Read Me
