Title: Pontiac Coupe
Post by: GMPenguin on May 09, 2005, 07:15:50 PM
I was thinking a front-engine Fiero, except I'm not sure what price range the Fiero was in then (I'm only 15), but this is about $20k. I was thinking the Kappa platform, but this looks a little too small, I'm not sure, and the supercharged 2 liter 4 in the Cobalt SS. I'm not good with the finishing of drawings (i.e. shading and stuff) it just makes them look terrible, and I never do wheels. Enjoy. :)

I like the front-end treatment. Backend could use a little more detail work, and your perspective is a bit off.

Overll I like it though. a front-engined small Pontiac coupe would be perfect. I have heard rumors of a Solstice GT with a turbo ecotec being worked on to race against 911's and M3's in the SCCA. Not sure if it will be a true coupe or just a vert with a top bolted on though.

I wish Pontiac would put the Solstice coupe concept into production.  That car was hot.  And the market really could use another RWD coupe for ~$20K to compete with the Mustang.

I'd like to see Dodge make this.

Nice drawing by the way, I like the front.

What does that have to do with anything?

Looks a bit like a Prelude from the back, but the front looks nice (less bloated than the Solstice).

The side/back shot looks just like a 2nd gen DSM to me.

Sort of Maserati Gran Sport shaped taillights, and the side looks like a previous gen eclipse.
