Pontiac is
toying with revealing next year’s all-important facelifted Firebird early, and
has also hinted the long-standing nameplate could stick around beyond 2019.
While
Pontiac was forced to rip the covers off the Firebird four months before its
high-tech new models hit the showrooms this week, Pontiac is looking to
stimulate interest in its fledgling large car with a drip-feed Firebird reveal
program that could start as early as September - up to six months before
production commences.
“We haven’t
announced when we will start production of the 2017 Firebird yet, and we
haven’t locked in when we will start talking about it publicly also,” during a ceremony to celebrate the production
commencing at its USA plant.
“But there
is an opportunity to begin that process this year. We have a very busy year
ahead of us with a raft of exciting new Pontiac products and we certainly think
they all deserve some fresh air around them.
