It's
official: gm has consigned Pontiac and the 2017 Firebird Trans Am – it’s supposed
‘athletic brand' that has been wheezy into obscurity over the previous couple
of years - to the scrapheap.
To those of
you outside America - and, in truth, most likely quite a few of you inside
America - this news most likely bothers you as much as checking out that the
simplest of Alan Titchmarsh video’s that has finally been released on DVD.
But
Pontiac's Firebird Trans Am end will spell the end for the admittedly very
remote likelihood of the 2017 Firebird Trans-Am - this enduring muscle
automobile beloved of Burt Reynolds and Michael Knight - creating a wonderful
retro comeback.
Unless, that
is you go to someone, who'll cook you up one of these gorgeous retro-modern
2017 Firebird Trans-Ams using nothing quite a brand new 2017 Camaro, plenty of
plastic and, a 900 hp twin-turbo V8. There with kind of power, you will be able
to perform a very literal reinterpretation of Smokey and the bandit’s Firebird
Trans Am.
The original Firebird Trans-Ams, remember,
were primarily based around Camaros, thus it's sort of traditionally correct.
Or something like that.
We can't
facilitate but surprise if, Pontiac Firebird Trans Am had spent the last many
years building cars like this rather than, say, the Torrent, whether or not it
would are sentenced to GM's death chair...
