What is this car?!

Gaygle · 2 Jun 2006 at 00:26

I saw this car the other day and i thought it kinda looked like the car out of Knight Rider, so i took a picture (lol) , but i now realise that i don't have a clue what car it is? Any ideas?

Looks like a Marcos to me.

[edit]Its not an LM500 but those lights at the bottom look similar.

It's a Pontiac. I think.

Gaygle · 2 Jun 2006 at 00:28

Ok, i've just found out what it is myself, does anyone know the exact make and model without looking at RAC vehicle data search?!

Pontiac Firebird.

Well 6th elephant must've looked it up. He's too much of a gayer to know that.

Checked what a Pontiac Firebird looked like on Google Images before I posted to make sure I was right

I was 95% sure though.

Nah he's too much of a wuss to live here, can't hack it and is moving back in a few days.

I knew what it was before reading the first reply :confused:

Do i get a medal?

To be honest i'd have thought everyone would have known that, its not like they aren't a distinguishing shape

Wooooah how wrong can one man be?

As American cars go it's one of my favourites but I'd rather have an original '80s Trans Am just like the 'hoff

Wasn't that far off? You mistook an American volume production car for a European low volume sports car...

I stand by the fact that they aren't particularly dissimilar looking at the screen I'm on. The bonnet even looks like it has the gaps like on the LM, though being the car it is I doubt it has and its just reflections/shade.

By the way, since when did the volume a car is produced at affect the way it looks?
