Looks pretty cool, front end height may be a little wide for my tastes.

IMHO, it is a nice try, but I don't like it all that much. The front and rear ends look too bulky, the side lines are not crisp enough. Not a big fan of the interior either.
I know that is heresy around these parts.

The transition between the front upper and lower (valance) is a bit off as well....but as you say nice try!

For the most part I like it. The front end looks a little short but, I could find a spot in my garage for it.

I think with a little tweaking it could be made to look pretty nice. I'm thinking drop it about 4 or 5 inches all the way round and a full tint job on the windows for starters. Maybe set back the lower valance so the headlight/grill is a little more pronounced.

It's nice that some people with money want to keep the Pontiac name around.

I think it's pretty cool! They put a lot of effort in it. Off course they should have chosen a FGF remake, but hey, can't have it all..

Ya, they are a bit spooky, but I think they just may look a bit intimidating rolling up behind a charger ...and with a 455...pass em!

They should have hired some old pontiac designers from the era as a consultant. I think they swung for the fences, but came up a little short. It reminds me of the Ferrari bodies that you could put on a firebird, they just don't look right
