Talk:Pontiac Firebird

The following:

The Firebird remains one of the most attractive, versatile, and well-balanced vehicle designs in automotive history. It is comfortable, and fun to drive. Easily affordable by anyone, it, alongside Chevrolet's Camaro, continues its reign as the premier sports car of America's working class.

Seems very POV. especially since it conflicts with the paragraph above. My initial reaction was to whack this piece, but I figured discussion was in order. Wikibofh 20:03, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

this is true. its a true muscle car and its a shame it has been discontinued.

Merge to Firebird.

I fully agree that it should be merged. This article is lacking major information and what is here will benefit the Firebird article. The T/A is a submodel of the Firebird.

No, they are two seperate cars

No, keep them as different pages. They are not that similar.

What the hell are you talking about? A firebird is a Trans Am. It is a more sporty model like the Iroc-Z is to the Camaro.

Directed at the line above, a Trans Am is a certain model of firebird, not the other way around. In the case of the 4th generation, the Firebird was the V6 model and the Fomula Firebird and Trans Am where V8 models. Not all Firebirds are Trans Ams.

Keep em' seperate, PLEASE! They're 2 different autos.

YES, merge the two. Trans Am is "just" an otions package for the Firebird - it is a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am, simply a matter of factual information. And yes, I've owned them.

Edit 04/06/06

I removed the "Brochure" section because all the links were broken

this is the problem with most people.  They dont know the difference but if you own one or are a person who is into cars you know the difference right off the bat

Links

Some of the links, particularly thirdgen.org, have more ads than content. I suggest deleting overly commercial links. Your thoughts? seaphoto 14:52 10 June 2006

I agree

-Thirdgen.org has a ton of content, and very few ads that sit on the side. The website is also "tech only", any off topic discussions are not allowed. Removing this link would be a horrible idea.

I don't understand "The 400 engine was the only other option in the 1975, and 1976 models" Since the 455 was available.
