- It is not a joke - General Motors is really considering a comeback of the Pontiac muscle car!
Car and Driver full-cover ad sparked the discussion, although there is a disclaimer written in small print...
It is not just us - all the gear-heads are now trying to find out more info about the upcoming vehicle and the 2025 Pontiac Firebird seems like the perfect replacement for the outgoing Chevy Camaro.
What do you think?
Is the ad fake, or the Pontiac is making a stunning comeback??

Im all in for the new Firebird! Build it GM!
hell yes brother!!!!!
Don't hold your breath, people.
It has to be real and I can't wait. I have three fourth gen Firebirds and I'd love to see a new one.
Bring back our favorite bird!!!
A V8 turbo or twin turbo bird, not an electric turd!
If the rumor is true that pontiac is coming back then i hope pontiac will return in nascar and in the police car Markets.😊
Makes sense for Nascar GM pulling another Chevy SS
The late great PI legend Jim Rockford would be proud !! 😊
and in the police car Markets ....you must be a cop only a cop would say that crap and when was Pontiac in the cop car business
They're not sold check date if they do.They have to bring the whole pontiac line back and that's not gonna happen
GM owns the brand name. There is really no reason not to bring back Pontiac or Oldsmobile. Both brands made some really cool and hot cars. I would love to see them come back 😎👍
+1 😁
Bring back the Bird. GM we want Gas powered excitement again. Not electric shit.
That blue 79 T/A looks sweet.
I owned a 70 Trans am biggest mistake selling it and a 71 Firebird and 81 Trans am. Please bring it back.
But not as an electric can
It would be nice to see a really powerful Firebird again!!!
Pontiac should of never left , I had quite a few of them and they were nothing but badass
I'm a great Pontiac enthusiast, I like the 4gen firebirds the most, but also GTO from then and modern. It is the feeling you can explore only in a car you don't need, but want! An early ad was "if you need a car, buy a chevy. if you want a car, buy a pontiac" ❤ Bring back these low flying "hell"birds🎉
It would be nice to use Pontiac once again! 👍👍👍
i would love to see what a new pontiac firebird & a new GTO it would be interesting to see what they make hopefully it won't be an awful looking cars & retain their amazing power
I think that Pontiac is due for a full redemption, and what I think is going to happen is you're going to see a major comeback with Pontiac with the firebird! Who knows we might see an electric firebird down the road.
They better don't do that
The Muscle Car Lives 🦅 GM ™️ 🇺🇸
Never buy a EV car ! 90% that has bought one won't buy another!!!!
I hope its back!
If they build it, I WILL buy it!
Yea if Pontiac build it.i will buy one
Yea I would like a electric firebird but it got to have at least 950hp twin turbo
@@user-pn9th9nq5myou mean hybrid?
We need it back
A new Pontiac as a Firebird YES, but with and engine that is and improved version of Pontiacs V8 how doe's a tunnel port overhead cam Ram Air 5 sound, like a Hemi killer, if only had GM let Pontiac loose , in 1963. We would have seen overhead cam V8s than.
Id love to see the TA make a come back maybe a WS6 with a Fire-Breathing V8. GM please don't disrespect the Bird with that EV-BS
I’ll believe it when I see it, and if I see it, I’ll buy it!
Let’s go THE SCREAMING CHICKEN IS BACK !!!!!!!!
3:14-3:22
Sad to say, this sounds more realistic.
Unfortunately...
Clearly what makes sense is the 6.6 litre l8p crate engine. Plus 500hp the legendary 6.6 moniker. Its obviously a match made in heaven! imo
Good point! 6.6 L8T
Lt5 or lsa. Would be fantastic
Yes! Bring it back with the shaker hood and a monster 8 block!
If Pontiac comes back, it's nothing but the Camaro in Pontiac emblems, gm should bring back the Pontiac GTO and tempest!!!👍🤔🤓
Well, even today's Camaro is not old Camaro... Firebird or any Pontiac won't have anything from old cars but the name ☹️
You know General Motors are not going to let Ford and Chrysler get the best of them.
Bring PONTIAC BACK!!! Give us a Turbocharged V8!
Hopefully it would turn out better than the last V8 turbo trans am.
I will believe it when I see it !
It’s going to have a hydrogen power plant going to be bad ass just hard to get the hydrogen to run it
The new Firebird should be a copy of the very first Firebird, the plain model that looked very light and ready to go. If should look nothing like a Camaro.
Very unlikely ☹️ both styling and powertrains are about to be "modernized"... They're killing the joy of ride ☹️
People worry way too much about the Firebird being EV. It's even in the news that EVs aren't selling.
Bring back the bird!
Had 2 Trans Am's they were great cars would buy another...
The phraze "make some noise" is probably, becasuse you have to the car won't.
Bring it back with the new smokey an the bandit movie
Very curious.
V8 as a generator for charging the EV battery. No plug-in.
As long as it's not an EV, I'm interested.
Can you make a video about the possible return of oldsmobile and murcrey car brand.😊
We'll check reports and rumors and do a review as soon as we gather enough info!
Thanks
Thanks😊.
T-Top mandatory 😊
😂
We had an '80 Firebird Trans Am. Beautiful car. Not practical for a young family, which is why we sold it.
That's why ponycars are dying ☹️
Dream on. There is no profitable market for any of the Big 3 to return to manufacturing muscle cars. That era was a short lived moment in time that will never be captured again. I lived it and I loved it. I sold new muscle cars in the era. Pontiacs and Chevrolets. The insurance companies and the oil conglomerates killed the muscle car. Today's buying public is too conservative and practical to give up their SUVs (modern day station wagons). I am 76 years young and my summer driver is a 2015 Chevy SS.
Well said, right on point!
They could call the electric version the Thermal Runaway...
😂😂
I often go into a fantasy world where my zoo garage is full of Firebirds, Mustangs, Jaguars, and Thunderbirds...and a Cheetah.😎
Nice garage... I mean - zoo 😎😎
Real Car, V8 with turbo or super charged, none of that duracell bullshit, build it right, or don't build it at all
Amen to that
If they brought it back 5.3L V8 revive the 3.8L V6 in naturally aspirated and supercharged and throw in a turbo 4 in the mix have the historically bullet proof V6 as the standard engine and pair it to their 10 speed auto as standard with a reliable automatic from the past and a 6 speed manual as optional you bring back the G8 as the Bonneville or grand am/prix and some new crossovers that are unique enough to not look badge engineered. Bring back Firebird/Trans AM and a few select nameplates.
Only old thing will be the name ☹️☹️
v12 with a bulletproof 8 speed would be legendary, not that they would ever in a million years consider that.
☹️
Bring that shit back GM stop doing stupid stuff bring it back
They'll need to replace quota hire Mary Barra first.
transam is cool but a fiero that is a vett hiller would be bad ass
GM will never allow a relatively budget sports car to outperform its crown jewel!
I hope that Oldsmobile will be coming g back as well. I miss the 442, Cutlass, and Toronado.
Wow... You wish!
@@LetsDriveYT Yes, I certainly do wish!!!!
Hey guys. The joke is our first car is an EV, not Pontiac coming back. Pontiac coming back is true.
I hope they start making Firebirds again, but ditch that retro look and start where they left in 2002. It should be made like before, use same engine as a Vette and lie about the horsepower numbers.
The problem is that all of the Pontiac muscle car brands are owned but trans am international
Isn't GM?
C8 Corvette ZO6 costs 150-175k 😂
GM will find a way to ruin Pontiac again with greed and alienating you and I (the core fanbase) Who is running GM now? I have zero confidence in them. Ford started the war, and have now been declared the winner 🏆
🤯
Didn’t see this coming. We’ll all be in mustangs at this point.
a car would be better than a crossover. there are enough already
💯💯💯
BRING BACK PONTIAC!!!!
Might be little too late GM, Why didn't a Pontiac Firebird make a
debut back when Chevrolet had
brought back the Camaro!?! It's
hard understanding that when..
the two F-bodied models were
virtual twins when first introduced
to the masses(1967). Sometimes I wondered why major car companies stop producing their popular models to begin with or totally ruin a model
(4dr. Charger?). Now, I'm told they want to make Crossover, 4dr. Sedan
or SUVs with the Camaro(like Ford's Mustang)WTF!?! What Major Car Companies NEED TO DO Is..THINK
BEFORE THEY START A BIG MESS & DON'T KNOW WHERE IT'S GOING!!!
We might like muscle cars, but crossovers and trucks generate more profit ☹️ I suppose Camaro and Mustang survived mainly because of the huge fan base. With Firebird alongside Camaro, GM would have more expenses and same sales...
You can put lipstick on a Camaro, but it's still a Camaro.
In 2026?
I hope the firebird doesn’t look like the Camaro in any way.
We all hope for sth new, not just rebadged Camaro
If is GAS I will buy one if it's an EV for get it no going to happen, I will never drive any car that I have to plug in to run GAS only.!!!!
EVs are too hyped, and companies will do these dirty tricks to draw even more attention to electric cars ☹️
Bring that MUTHA back!
Firebird, and it would be also cool to see the new Barracuda replacing Charger and Challenger!
@@LetsDriveYT if Chrysler Corp. didn't have their heads up their butts they have found away to keep Plymouth, Charger and Challenger(V8), and brought back the Cuda a out 14 years ago! The big blocks can be designed to efficient. Also, there is synthetic gas that mimics petrol and is better! They don't want it to come to market! You know who they are!
NEVER EVER will buy an EV. Appliances belong in the kitchen, not the garage.
They already make them
Could't find any info about production... But where there's smoke, there's fire 😉
@LetsDriveYT I think he's talking about these aftermarket companies that makes a Camaro look like a '77/'78 TransAm
If GM doesn't change everything, but just repack Camaro's stuff into Pontiac, that will be basically the same ☹️
I pulled up beside a tesla the upper level one in my 2019 corvette and the tesla could not go over 50 mph because low battery he said. What a joke. at the same time EV'S are wrecking our roads because of their heavy weight.
😂😂😂
3rd times a charm they say... don't buy its a sham
They need to use a different grill too, because BMW warned them before they Went bankrupt😂. Stop, copying our grill!
🤣
1927-Pontiac is born.
2027-Marks the 100th Anniversary of Pontiac. GM has nothing in the foreseeable future to compete against Ford or Dodge as Chevrolet's plan for the Camaro is to make it a guess what?..an EV. What better to fill that gapping hole then with..oh! I don't know...A Revised Pontiac!!!
We need to speak up if we want Pontiac back.
This is the opportunity we need to consider.
MAKE SOME NOISE!
Charger and Challenger are cancelled too, so the only muscle still being produced is Mustang... My guess is not for too long. Ford already started the transformation to the electric segment and as an SUV. They're just keeping the name alive.
I love Pontiac too. I had 4 of them, but this fake ad was created by Car & Driver to create buzz/attention FOR Car & Driver magazine that's really not doing so hot. They've gone from a monthly to a bimonthly, and the next level down is a quarterly, like Motor Trend. To answer the question of why would C & D to to all the trouble of doing this, that's why. The ad is kind of like the bellowing Orwellian screen from an extremely well known film, to give the little man behind the curtain some attention. It's getting it now, but this too shall pass. What gimmick will be next, or will they make a series out of these. Car magazines are dying out like the film industry. Everything's all over with, and no one has the guts to say it, so I just did.
99% true, but we still hold out hopes for that 1% 😄
Small print says it fake. Guy ignores.....smart
😂😂😂
That's what we love to do
If Pontiac really want to finish kill the cars... Build ur EV 's. I always liked there Real cars ... the 66/ 67 68/69/70 .. GTO's Judges . Firebirds Trans Am. But the 1980's Pontiac went down hill fast .. But EV,s Nope ! Just as well close there doors again...
Don't open them at all 🤣🤣
Only F body I buy is Pontiac. I buy GMC trucks and not Chevrolet. I know it's all GM but rarely a Chevy fan boy.
Fresh fuel?? Say on bottom of page. NOT HAPPENING
I'd rather GM bought back Holden
👀👀👀
Not with an EV
🤞
Leave Pontiac alone and in the past, all the car would be is a slightly rebodied Camaro with an ENORMOUS price tag! 😠😠😠
These were affordable cars before. Now they're too expensive. No surprise why they are being shut down.
Why would GM bring back the Pontiac name plate for only one vehicle? Not good business sense, let the past stay in the past, GM tried that before with the GTO……..,,
Good question. But only one ad in the magazine caused so much attention. Like we said in the video, it might be C&D trick to draw attention to their magazine, or GM is behind all this.
Pontiac is done, and GM is killing the Camaro, they are not going to re-tool completely for a "new brand" to make a Camaro "successor" not gonna be.
I don't think this is happening without a reason... Revival of Pontiac would definitely draw a lot of attention
If they built it you wouldn't be able to afford it anyway
Hope they won't overprice it. But it will be expensive...
Gas powered v 8 no ev crap
Hopefully they'll make a reasonable decision
Again I didn't look you up, this was TH-cam. But The Firebird isn't back. It is a Camaro with a different front end on it and that is all that it is. Also when the Firebird and the Camaro first came out anyone could afford them, only the well off can afford these fake muscle cars. And could you please tell TH-cam I don't want to see these video's, just because I look at dirt bikes doesn't mean I want to have cars that only the wealthy can afford. Tired of watch the rich play, that is why I don't watch NASCAR, football or any other sports today. A dirt bike anyone can afford if you buy chinese and get out there and ride. I know, because I do. and out run the cowardly rich people all day long.
It better be all electric.
Hell no!
This is 100 perrcent not happening. Barra wont allow ut. Dont be suckers.
☹️
An EV muscle car..? 😂😂😂
Sad times
If the trans am comes back it will be a piece of shit electric hybrid or pathetic turbo 6 cylinder.
And a V8 would eventually be the most expensive choice ☹️☹️☹️
Pontiac no longer exists, sadly.
This is a lie Pontiac dead. Secondly the Camaro dead. GM will not launch a new brand and model alone for the firebird when they discontinued the Camaro.
Car and Driver had a full page ad, although they say it is not likely, something could be going on... Why would they waste a full page ad? We only analyzed what could happen if it's not a lie
Ditch the A.I voiceover. It sounds awful and emotionless 👎
Sounds like wishful thinking..
This is so false there isn’t even a Pontiac anymore
The musle cars are dead. Very sad good buy to. Camaro v8 charger v8. challenger v8 mustang v8. It is the end
This is so false there isn’t even a Pontiac anymore
