2017 Pontiac Bandit Trans Am – Limited Edition

The Pontiac brand has been dead for quite a few years now, but there are still people loving their cars. One of their most iconic models has always been the Trans Am which has been made quite popular after it appeared in a movie with Burt Reynolds. Not that long ago some original models have been auctioned for incredible amounts of money which gave some people an idea. The idea was to create 2017 Pontiac Bandit Trans Am.

Just as tacky as the original. Nice job.

$115K for a JC Whitneyed Camaro is ridiculous.

BUT

There is no reason GM couldn't do a Trans Am by changing the Camaro's nose and tail caps and offering a limit number through Buick dealers. They would not need to relaunch Pontiac as a brand/division, but it most decidedly would increase the Camaro's sales.

The old Trans Ams with the hood decal are an iconic part of the American muscle car legacy and not tapping into that is ridiculous.

I love this idea and thought about it awhile ago. It would appeal to a slightly different buyer but also give some traffic to the Buick GMC dealers. More models on the same platform will lower costs an boost profits. "IF" its done well and there is no reason this could not be done properly.
