Saw it; there's also another Pontiac concept car that's a 4-door and looks really cool. But knowing GM, they're sure to find a way to water it down and make it look like s--t.

It was at the Denver Auto Show the other week. Looks much better in person, IMHO, although I could do without the overworked fenders. Just looked gawdy, other than that, real nice.

LS1 & AWD in the Grand Prix platform.

I would look at buying one if they made it with the 6-speed & 4 doors!

The dual "Ram-Air" hood is a little much, but definitely keeping with Pontiac styling.

I get mad everytime I see a Pontiac prototype at the auto show, b/c I get all happy seing the kick a$$ version there, but when I see it at the dealer, crap. I saw the Vibe type R at the show, might as well call it the Momo type R laugh everything was made by Momo. Thing had Momo 19" wheels, race seats, cross-drilled rotors,etc. etc. And best of all, it was a stick eek - a pontiac stick? 90% of their cars are ATX (MTX-Firbird, Firehawk, etc.). I think it had like 180 hp from a 1.8? This is all from memory, so i might be off in the numbers a little confused , but I recall it looking sweet, and remembering in the past how I was let down with their production models, and I made a note to self, "It'll look like sh*t after they strip it down into production form.." mad Just my 2c. wink

That's because it's the same drive train as the Toyota Matrix.
