26: The Pontiac Trans Am
If not bring the Pontiac brand back altogether, GM could at least bring the Firebird back. The Firebird was an iconic part of the muscle car era and with the current fight for muscle car supremacy, the Firebird would be right at home. The appeal and unique nature of the Firebird would create a frenzy with consumers and ignite a fire back into the GM F Body platform. There was a lot to like about the Firebird and the unique design was top notch. At the time there were very few cars as unique as the Firebird.
If GM couldn’t find it profitable to revive Pontiac at least the company could bring the Firebird back. The car has a unique aspect to it that made it all it’s own, and the current muscle car market could use something unique like this. Pontiac was an instrumental part of the early automotive market that fell into obscurity because of GM.
