Pontiac hasn't gotten the axe entirely yet. Their emphasis is being phased out until only a few "niche" models will carry the Pontiac badge and sold on other brand lots such as Chevy. So it is quite possible that GM decides to make one of those remaining niche models a Firebird variant of the current Camaro. I have heard nothing concrete about them doing that, but just wanted to clear up that it isn't out of the realm of possibility and to clarify that Pontiac as of right now is not being terminated completely.Firebirds won't come back unfortunately.....Pontiac no longer exists......There have been some builders who have made a "5th gen" firebird off the camaro body though.
