Description:

            This year GM is set to release the 2009 Camaro.  Its styling is similar to the new Mustang's retro look.  The engine is bigger than in the past and I do not think they are releasing a V-6 version for 09.  This is all well and good and I really like the Camaro, but I love the Trans-am and Firebird.  Ever since I was a kid I’ve wanted a black Trans-am.  Burt Reynolds drove one in Smokey and the Bandit.  Michael Knight drove one in Knight Rider.  And I want to drive one sometime in the next ten years.  I couldn’t find anything concrete on the internet.  It looks like there is a concept car built for the Trans-am but no talk of an actual release.  I think they will probably release it in 2010 if the Camaro does well.  All I can say to GM is PLEASE DO!!  There are a lot of people out there that are anxious for this car and would definitely buy one.

  If you love Firebirds and Trans Ams and want GM to bring them back Sign This Petition.

I hope they bring it back. Just when they were building cars that people actually want to buy and drive for years they yanked it out from under us. I bought a 2009 Pontiac G8 GT just a few days before they announced GM's BK just over a year ago. I knew they were probably going to go into BK however I wanted a G8 while they lasted. Best pontiac and just possibly the best GM vehicle GM has ever built. I have not been disappointed with the car now owning it a year with 13k miles on it. I simply love it! Best car I've owned and I've owned Hondas, VWs, Chrysler products, Ford products etc. My previous car was a 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix GXP which I thought was a really good performing car however the G8 is light years ahead of that and handles and performs very similar to a BMW 5 series for about 1/2 the price. Bring it back please! I want to be able to purchase another one like the G8 in the future. No other Chevy or Buick is in that class which would spur me to switch to another maker and I don't want to do that. My father also owned a 69 GTO with a 4 speed....he loved it. He also owned 2 late model Bonneville SSE's and drove them for nearly 200k miles each. It's sad to see it go and I'm still bitter. Bring it back with products such as the G6 and G8 and see the sales grow again and be a profitable division again.
GM just listen to all of these Pontiac fans. All the busines your could have by doing Pontiac done right. The Trans Am was the most awsome of the line, along with the rest of the Pontiac Pack ( Grand Prix, Grand AM, Bonniville,Solstice GTO even the G6 & G8). All of these cars outshined almost everything else on the market. So pull your head out of your ass and gave the people what they want. I also own a 2001 Firebird Trans Am WS.6 and I absolutely love it!!!
My first two vehicles after joining the Air Force were an 82'V6 Firbird and an 84' Trans Am. I drove those cars religiously while (get this) stationed in Alaska, for goodness sake! It was not until I could afford the Vette before I gave up the Firebird. The Trans Am stayed with me up until 2001. My dream was to restore a 77'-78' up to the "Bandit" specifications. Its a thing a beauty when you're traveling on the highways and a Trans Am (any year)cruises by you. For me, I often wonder if I should have kept the Firebird and maybe stuck a turbo on it, a la Anniversary Turbo Trans Am! GM, bring the dang T/A back!
I love the concepts that are being designed by the private industry. It goes to show that everyone wants to see it produced. The reason that sales got so dismal is that Pontiac produced the majority of the firebirds with 3.8 and automatics. The T/A's have the v-8. When I think of american muscle I want a large gas guzzling V-8 with a six speed.
Bring back the TransAM, I have had 4, 1978, 1982, 1986 and the 1998.
I just want to say, That the firebird line has got to be one of the best lines if not the best out there. You should consider bringing it back and know everyone would love to get their hands on one of those baby's. I currently have a 95 firebird and would definitely get a new car if it meant me buying a trans am. I love mine so much i wouldnt trade it in to buy a new prius or something no, i want a firebird ! So please think about it and i know you will make us proud. We have faith in you guys! Thanks.
Pontiac is the only GM car line I really like. Why does GM want to kill itself. Pontiac is the best of all GM models. What the hell is going on here?
listen up gm. if you dump pontiac i will never buy another gm car or truck ever again. im 34 years old and have bought 4 new pontiacs and 2 chevys. dont be stupid. i guess in 2010 im going german :o(
GM really needs to listen to the consumers of their products just like the Japanese companys have done, and they have done very well doing so. Is it so hard? Just sell us what we want to buy the Kevin Morgan designs are on the mark and would easily out sell all other pontiac models. Listen up GM the people have spoken.
they will bring it back, their just waiting for the right time to do so, i say more like 2011/2012. so yall have yalls money ready.
GM sucks!!!!!!! Ditch Buick. The Trans Am rocks! best car I've ever owned and I've had 5 of them. NEVER a problem. Get rid of the CHEAP Camaro. pontiac never had to advertise the TA because the loyal TA drivers knew it was a great car. GM you just lost alot of customers!!!!!!!!!
Of course you need to bring it back! I can't believe the even stopped producing them in the first place. It seems that Ford keeps leading GM by the nose. Here's my preference though. But please not that GM concept. Please bring back the 70 -73 body style. Check out Kevin Morgan's sketches. That big nose & air ducts are awesome. http://images.cardomain.c om/sites/cardom...

just bring back the transam. it is a great car and one of the best looking cars out there. the winner of the first season of BULLRUN had a transam and it proved itself as a reliable car, albeit it was modified, overall bring the firebird back! make it cheaper than the camaro. if you guys bring it back that way it will make nissan's 370z have a headache! please bring back the transam!

I drive a red 95 firebird formula trans am. I LOVE it. It was my sweet 16 present. A firebird was my dream car (set apart from the corvettes). When I wrecked it I cried. It was raining (of course) and when I put on my breaks it wouldn't stop and I rear ended someone. (Got to be careful in the rain with these cars) I cried so hard because I didn't want a different car. I told my dad can I please get another trans am. He said I don't know because of gas (this was when gas was like $4). Luckily I was able to get it fixed from a guy that works with him and he gave us a discount (I would have been better off just buying another trans am because it cost just as much to fix it as it did to buy it.) I really want them to start makeing the trans ams again. I've seen pictures and I'm definately going to get one if I have the money, although I'm only 18 but hey, I'll be out of college soon with a job!!

i own a 1999 firebird formula trans am and i love my **** car ,i get mad , sick like brian when my car broke down , i like when ppl look at my car and make comments about it , good comments " no matter what i keep it i know someday going to died my car but im so happy to have a trans am

I own a 1994 Firebird SCE and love that car more than anyone or anything. If my cars sick im depressed i dont know of many cars that people can have that kind of passion for. yea the camaro is nice and all but we all know the trans am was the true muscle car, please dont end its reign of the roads.

I am a big T/A fan. I'd love to have one again but I think the last versions out there were more plastic than muscle. Bring back the real T/A's like the 1987 T-Roof!

I have drooled ove Trans Am's since I was 16. I'v wanted a black Ram Air Trans Am so badly. My children are now grown, and it's time for me. I will be 50 in two years. When I was 40 my husband said to wait till my 50th birthday and he would get me the dream car I've always wanted. PLEASE BRING BACK THE TA FOR MY 50TH!

I owned a 1979 Trans Am, I loved that car more than anything or anyone. Heck yea lets bring it BACK!!!!! I'd love to love all over again.
C-Los

From the pictures I have seen on the Trans Am I will most diffently get one when ever it is released. I have already been waiting for like two years and really hope to see them out on the road soon.

I have a 1994 pontiac trans am with only four thousand 2 hundred and seventy two kilometers on it . it is red with black leather interior, to tops , full load. email me at onetruegem@hotmail.com if interested, price is 19000.00 this car is in brand new showroom condtion

How can GM bring out the Camaro without its counterpart!! I have a 2000 Ram Air and have had a 1988 Formula "wish i had never traded for a camaro." Dont kill the trans am now bring her back!! Bring back the trans am!! Thanks

Well I dont know why GM isnt bring back the firebird because i have have always like the trans am more than the camaro for one cause the bird looked more fearful and better tha the camaro. The camaro only had 3 different models standard V6 and Z28 & the SS. but on the onther hand the firebird had the staandard V6 but several V8 (trans am,formula,blackbird.firehawk,trans am ram air. I mean come on now you cant stop the Bird now. So if you would consider about bring the bird back please Thank You for your time. . .

I will buy one of each GTO/TRANS AM retro years that you produce. GM needs to hire the designers of the prototypes of GTO/TRAMS on the internet sites. The GM designers are stupid compared to these guys. They are like the designers of the 60's and 70's. When GM builds these cars, I will sell all of my GTO JUDGES/SD455 TRANS AMS/20TH Anniversary Turbo Trans Ams and all of my other Standard and Muscle car PONTIACS. I will never buy any of the current or future poor design pontiacs except maybe the G8 GXP, which is still not an American made GTO/TRANS AM. Also put the GAS TANK FILLER ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AND MAKE THE REAR QUARTER PANELS 6 TO 12 INCHES LONGER. ARE YOU LISTENING PONTIAC ??????? OR DO YOU WANT YOUR DIVISON TO LIVE A STUPID LIFE AND DIE ???????
MY FAMILY HAS PURCHASED PONTIACS SINCE 1952!!!!!!!
THE DOCTOR- DOC PONTIAC - NO BRAG JUST FACT - DON'T TALK BACK !!!!!!!

please bring it. i own a 79 trans am and i love it! iam here like everyone else and for one thing only....to bring it back!!

I have a 1984 Firebird and I love to drive it! I am torn with the new muscle cars coming out right now and I think GM should bring the Firebird back. It would mix things up a bit. I am chevy at heart but I have to admit, the mustang retro styling is pretty good and Ford was the first to do it. Dodge is up next with the challenger which I really like too. I am not crazy about the camaro but I would like to see the Firebird. Right now I am leaning towards a challenger but a GOOD Firebird would make me think twice.

I own a 1974 Olds cutlass s and i love pontiacs to. bring them all back.they should never stoped makeing the trans am. I only live about thirty mile's north of Kevin in Elmira N.Y maby i'll shoot some other ideas your way someday. your friend Porter.

Well, I own a 1984 Trans Am KITT conversion, similar to one pictured above.
I would consider buying a new one, more so however if GM had gotten on the ball and released it to coincide with the Knight Rider movie and it was KITT instead of a dumb Ford.

Hi, I'm Tony Bridges from st.louis and i'm just like everybody else who loves the TRANS AM! I have always wanted one since I was a kid I,m 47 years old and I haven,t gave up yet on getting one. So pleeezzz! bring my dream car back!!!. ps I love TRANS AMS.

The deal is people need to buy them. The reason GM quite making them is dismall sales. Bottom line GM is trying to make a profit and stay in business.
