If they had brought back the FIREBIRD instead of the GTO, Pontiac would still be here today.The GTO's day was long gone....and NO ONE wanted it. There was still a big demand for the FIREBIRD...which is the reason why independent tuner companies are building new Camaro- based clones of it . Instead...what did PONTIAC give us ? A GTO that no one wanted, a G-8 four Door Sedan that no one wanted (aren't there ENOUGH performance 4-Doors on the market ?) , a 4-cylinder SOLSTICE that Firebird fans totally IGNORED, and a proposed G-8 truck that no one would have wanted EITHER. People don't realize that, the reason why the GTO was discontinued in the FIRST place (in 1974) , was that the FIREBIRD was STEALING SALES from it. The logical thing to do would have been for GM to bring back the FIREBIRD at the same time the CAMARO came back.. As soon as the CAMARO came back, it leaped ahead of the MUSTANG in sales to tops in it's class. The FIREBIRD would have been EQUALLY AS BIG. Now it is 2014....and people still miss the FIREBIRD. EVERYBODY ELSE "GOT IT". WHY DIDN'T GM ??

G11B The ONLY reason why BUICK is still around is because they are now successfully selling cars in CHINA. China is now BUICK'S BIGGEST MARKET. They are now selling more cars there than in the U.S. Pontiac's main market competitor has always been DODGE. Both PONTIAC and DODGE were the "performance divisions" of their respective companies. But, DODGE is still around today, because it remained true to itself and it's intended market: high- performance. Look at DODGE'S lineup: The VIPER. THE CHARGER. THE CHALLENGER. High-performance versions of their RAM Pickup truck ( The VIPER-powered SRT-10). The HEMI V-8. The V-10. Special Hi-Po R/T and SRT versions of it's other vehicles ( Neon, Caliber, Dakota, Caravan, and Durango). Dodge played to win...and now it has the ULTIMATE BOMBSHELL: The 707 Horsepower HELLCAT. And they've sent Ford and Chevy scrambling back to the drawing boards. But, PONTIAC has always been HAMPERED BY GM Management , who kept on giving them the same stupid FRONT-WHEEL-DRIVE designs they were giving their OTHER divisions . By the time they realized their mistake , and vowed to give PONTIAC an all REAR-DRIVE lineup....it was TOO LATE. They went BANKRUPT...and PONTIAC DIED AS A RESULT.

+sarah marshall Pontiac was the performance division? Really?? Cadillac and Buick had more powerful cars than Pontiac all throughout the years, but without all that extra plastic on the body. Trans Am was just a Camaro with lots of extra plastic body moldings.

Cadillac and Buick were luxury car divisions . Yes , both built performance cars over the years , but only PONTIAC was GM's designated performance DIVISION. They had the GTO , The FIREBIRD. The BONNEVILLE . The LeMANS, & the GRAND PRIX. All of which were capable of serious performance prior to the Front-Wheel- Drive era. Their position was long coveted by Chevrolet , who also had performance cars ...but they were GM's low-price division. Now that Pontiac is gone, Chevy wins its position ...by default. A Wanna know why a new Firebird didn't appear when the Camaro came back ? I bet someone inside Chevrolet knows the answer !!!

williamg2552 "The BONNEVILLE . The LeMANS, & the GRAND PRIX". LOL......hell, why not mention the AZTEC? Same amount of performance but much more reliable. Chevrolet and Buick have always outran the plastic Pontiacs. Facts don't lie. And the reason Firebird didn't appear when the Camaro came back was because Pontiac put it's hopes in a oversized low performance ugly GTO. See, someone inside Chevrolet already knows the answer. Someone inside Buick does also.

Generations ago. Cadillac makes good vehicles, but 95% of Buick owners are the very elderly. Pontiac was GM's performance division as Dodge is to Chrysler. Buick makes the same ugly, cheap-ass cars over and over and should have been put out of its misery with Oldsmobile.

In United States i think cars are taxed by horsepower but in Greece cars are taxed by Cubic Centimeters... So for a car of 2000 cc you have to pay almost 1000 euros per year only for tax reasons..... Imagine for a Pontiac Trans Am.... Too bad Pontiac shutted down!!
