I too am sorry about the loss of jobs. The USA needs to change it's laws... we need to tackle corporate greed, we need to rescind the ruling that makes corporations have the same rights as people, be considered people actually, and we need some way to discourage the over emphasis on short term profits (brought us the SUV) and encourage long term profits (would have kept GMs electric car and Big 3 might have competed with Honda an Toyota on hybrids. Instead we've got a huge mess... not all the car industry's fault for sure, but it's part of the problem Anne Wayman I never was into the Pontiac – and the firebird was always too much of a muscle car for me.

I am sure there are buyers out there who would love that, for nostaligia's sake. I have a friend who just restored his own Trans Am back to Smokey and the Bandit spec, it took him over a year but it was a labor of love.

Maybe GM should think about building a Firebird version of the new Camaro with a few retro Firebird styling cues. This could further help Pontiac's performance image. What about a Firebird?
