Now why couldn't GM send the Impala back to rear wheel drive, and do something like this for Chevy.

this is NOT a Firehawk.

this is a joke.

@loudblazer you're right. it's a nice car. no one is debating its merits.

it just shouldn't be called a Firehawk. just like the new Camaro shouldn't be Camaro, and the new Charger shouldn't be Charger.

I feel like they're fucking with tradition. they should just come up with new model names instead of trying to curry favor by pandering to fans of the old models.

@sixstringCM06 Ok, well idk what your def. of "firehawk" is, but a 5 seater sedan that runs a 12.1 at 124 is amazing! So it might not be a firehawk to you but its an amazing machine that rivals any super sedan, and the performance is very close to first year GTR.

@loudblazer it's not a Firehawk. simple as that. it's a wanna-be that doesn't deserve the Firehawk badge.

@AlexanderRozhenko well i partially agree with that. however I assume they are banking bringing more of the Asian designs to the USA since everyone was buying Japanese for so long. And since Pontiac is in a smaller market it makes sense i guess lol. I feel bad about it going though.

@niceprince That's like saying Opel or Holden is too important to GM internationally. GM can make Buick in China...but in North America they should have axed Buick and kept Pontiac, IMO.
