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.

Kinda looks like a Jaguar?? Not bad, I wouldn't own it though....

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 :pukey

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.:no:

Debt sucks...I pay for everything in cash.

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.

i guess im alone on this one, but i like the coupe quite a bit more. either way, its a great looking car. and i dont say that very often about cars being designed today.

Actually I liked the coupe a lot too.. maybe not more than the roadster cause roadsters are just fun... but the coupe looks nice to me too..
