yea, we have a thread about the G8 Firehawk on here somewhere... the consensus was they are ruining the name. I like the car to be honest. It looks pretty sweet, but when I think Firehawk I think the Trans Am, and only the T/A.
The 1998-2002 Trans Am WS6 is my all time favorite car. It is my dream car and I WILL have one! To me it is the only car that bears the right to hold the Firehawk name. I picked a good dream car, haha. One that is actually obtainable for people.
I feel that the G8 Firehawk is a last ditch effort to get the sales pumping on the thing. They are just going to slap badges around on cars to boost the sales. Do I blame them? Absolutely not, I'd do the same thing if I were running the company. I just feel the new badge of the G8 isn't to keep a heritage alive, it's just to make money. If it wasn't I'm sure they could've thrown another name on the side of it. I dont know... the G8 Firedog could have worked even.
I've had several opportunities to get my Trans Am, and never did because I'm waiting for the PERFECT one! When it will cross my path I don't know. I do know it should start becoming a reality in about 3-4 years.
