That's an interesting car. Good specs for the price, and everybody will have their own opinion about the looks. 240hp SC'd I4, 6spd, RWD.

it should be relitivly cheap, but it looks like it might have potential. i like the 6spd rwd part. a supercharger should make it GREAT for road racing/autoX. and since its a roadster handling should be top notch. i dunno about pontiac though.... we shall see

Thats what I thought... especially the coupe... I don't like the grill a whole lot.. and I would not buy because it's a pontiac. Other than that I like it.. I like the rear too.. Should be quick. |

I don't like the "hatch-back look" on the hard-top version

If i had the money...i'd buy it...probably without hesitation...the car looks sweet...the specs look sweet...and for 22k...even sweeter...
IT's pretty much the ultimate package.

This is a great step for north american design. Overall I like the look of it. I wish they would tell us how much tq it had though.
It short of reminds me of the 20's-30's racing cars... i'll see if i can dig up a picture |

I really like how the car looks and the idea of the car. Im just a little turned off by the fact its mostly Cavalier/Sunfire. The who platform is based on the Cav/Sunfire. I think its even got the motor from one with the upgrades.
The car is sweet, just have to see how it pans out. I dont know if Id actually buy one though.

sorta reminds me of a mix of the new T-birds and a "shaguar". I like the sides and the back end of it...and I definitely like the convertible better than the hard top. I'll stick to my Vettes/Vipers though.

Well it was a concept, but I believed they just announced production for 2004. So maybe 2004/2005. |
