In 2000, Pontiac released the last sequel o its Firebird, and, even though it wasn't a new vehicle, it was an important refresh. But that didn't save the nameplate.

Pontiac was eager to get a better engine for its TransAm Firebird, and it made the RamAir version, which looked wild, and then the carmaker made a convertible out of it.

Pontiac introduced a convertible version for the Firebird's fourth generation in 1994 as a 1995 model year and raised the bar against its main rival, the Ford Mustang.

Pontiac introduced the fourth generation of the Firebird pony car in 1994, raising the bar against its main rival, the Ford Mustang, even though its main competitor proved to be its sibling, the Chevy Camaro.

Pontiac faced a difficult situation: on one hand, it knew that it had to replace the model, and on the other hand, the new generation wasn't ready.

Pontiac introduced the Firebird Trans-Am in 1982 as a 1983 model and shared most of its components with the Chevrolet Camaro but styled differently.

Pontiac introduced the second generation of the Firebird in February 1970, which was a re-badged version of the Chevrolet Camaro.

GM's answer to the 1964 Mustang came rather late, in 1967, with two new models: the Chevrolet Camaro and the Pontiac Firebird.
