i hate that front end.....overall...its ok... i guess....i wouldnt buy it...even if I COULD afford it...

94_AcCoRd_EX 10-20-2002 01:56 AM

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.

Rob 10-20-2002 01:57 AM

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

ChrisCantSkate 10-20-2002 01:59 AM

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

V8killimports 10-20-2002 02:00 AM

They claim about $22,000 for it.

94_AcCoRd_EX 10-20-2002 02:05 AM

I like the convertible best.

BTW, first two pics didn't work...

ChrisCantSkate 10-20-2002 02:07 AM

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.

Rob 10-20-2002 02:17 AM

I don't like the "hatch-back look" on the hard-top version :pukey

I used to own a 66 mustang.. but sold it.. then bought a 55 chevy. Now I have a 57 chevy. Why did ya ask anyways?

AzCivic 10-20-2002 03:10 AM

Probably cause you said you wouldnt buy it cause its a pontiac.

Kyle 10-20-2002 01:40 PM

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.
:cigar: :bow:

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

HEY damn it i drive a pontiac.....:mad:

Racing Rice 10-21-2002 02:00 PM

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:

Kyle 10-21-2002 02:20 PM

Thats what a loan is for.. ;)

Kyle 10-21-2002 04:15 PM

I don't beleive in Loans...i hate the fact that i'll be paying something off for a long time...
Debt sucks...I pay for everything in cash.

DsBlu01CivEX 10-21-2002 04:59 PM

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.

monkut 10-22-2002 12:37 AM

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..
