The T/A has been riding the Camaros coattails long enough, i say dont bring it back. The camaro is lighter, cheaper, cleaner, and overall just way better IMO. Good news that theres gonna be some fresh competition though.
You must be joking. Pontiac has always supposed to have been the performance division. The T/A have ALWAYS been faster and were more luxurious and refined. I think the last gen Bird looks way better than the bland maro.

While i'm overjoyed about this, the problem is

1. It'll probably be a Z/28 with a 5.3l V8 putting out 303 HP ala Impala SS
2. Chances of RWD limited

The good

1. LS2 SS
2. Muscle Car Wars in full swing
Chances of RWD limited? Wtf m8...

Chevy just created a completely new platform which is RWD most likely for this? That just bs don't say that.

First of all, yes, Pontiac was SUPPOSED to be the performance division but it hasn't been true for a long long time. For example, i wouldn't call an Aztek or a minivan, or pretty much any other ponitac except the now extinct T/A a perfromance car. And as for the camaro being faster and lighter, i was mainly referring to the last generation where the camaro was about 100lbs lighter, and faster than its pontiac counterpart.

As for the looks, what you call bland most people would call clean, theres a reason camaros were outselling firebirds 2:1 or 3:1. The Firebird looks good from some angles but from others it just looks awkward, while the camaro looks like a no nonsense musclecar. O, and then there was the price premium for all your luxury bullpoo which amounted to about $5000.
