Had Pontiac got a green light from GM to give these cars the engines Pontiac planned (V8 Turbo, and V6), 3rd gen Trans Am and Fiero would have instantly become all time classics and a real step forward. Considering Buick V6 at that time had 300 HP, Fiero could have had just as much, and Trans Am could have had 400 HP. By the 80ies standars it would put Fiero and Trans Am into supercar territory. Pontiac truly had had a vision and technology good enough to annihilate Chevrolet Corvette, and that's what GM didn't like.
1987 Pontiac TV Commercial-2, Fiero, Firebird, Trans Am, Sunbird, Grand Am. "We Build Excitement, Pontiac." Music arranged by Nick Perito. Conducted by Vernon Handley. Performed by the National Philharmonic Orchestra. Vocals by the McGuire Sisters, the Ray Charles Singers and the Renaissance Singers. Spot aired in the US in 1987.
“We Built Excitement! PONTIAC!”
I drive a 86 Trans Am but I also like the Fiero.
Lucky man

makes me miss the 80s
Wow, that's awesome. An old Pontiac in a (then) new commercial!
Nice commercial! I don't think I ever saw that one. Too bad Pontiac is no more. They made some exciting cars through the decades
Hot Fun Commercial.
Very nice this commercial of Pontiac Trans Am, Fiero and Sunbird 87
