GM Would Do Better Than This

Behold, someone's idea of a resurrected Pontiac Trans Am: the Lingerfelter Trans Am Concept (2009).

Now, Pontiac is dead, buried and phased out. But there are enough people, apparently, who lusted for a Pontiac version of the Camaro. So Lingenfelter Performance Engineering, an American tuning house made this:

It's about as subtle as a brick going through your window. That being said, its inspiration wasn't exactly understated either:
Still, it has better proportions than the Lingenfelter car.

The Lingenfelter is too cartoony, almost like a parody of the original. If the headlights were bigger, and not as deeply inset, it'd be a different story.

It also doesn't help they basically dropped a brick of plastic on the front of the Camaro.
The back isn't much better, unfortunately.

The rear is basically a massive, squared off block. You can tell that they just added some plastic to the rear of the Chevrolet Camaro.
While the Camaro isn't exactly rounded either, it doesn't have a vertical rear end and the inset taillights help make it look less blocky.

The "Trans Am's" interior isn't much good either.
I thought we'd left blue vinyl back in the '70s. Even if it is actually leather, which it might be, it doesn't look like it.

The only saving grace to the Lingenfelter is its awesome engine. It's a 455 cid (7.5L) V8 that makes 655hp and 610ft-lbs. of torque. It's the good old days of muscle car power brought into the modern age.

That's a good thing because people won't see the "Trans Am" when it pulls away from a stoplight. Then it will be the best it's ever looked: a white and blue blur.
