5th gen Firebird in 2015?

Heres the link. Is this a hoax? Parts of the article are barely legible, someone doesn't speak a de English. I know a couple years back there was a company doing after market Camaro to Firebird conversions for the 5th gen Camaro, but this looks different. So is GM bringing Pontiac back?

As much as I wish this were true, its not. Also look at the engine options... A trans am with a 2.0 tigershark? I don't want the trans am back if it comes with a dodge 4 cylinder

Two hamsters peddling a flywheel... Could be somebody used pics of some of the Camaro to Firebird conversions. IDK. It's all over Facebook though, so it HAS to be true. You know they can't put anything on the internet that's not true.....

I think people took the aftermarket conversions and associated them with official GM models.

Pontiac is dead. So is the Firebird, GTO, and any other iconic model. GM will never bring it back. Like the saying, It's easier to protect your freedoms, than to get them back after you lost them. They're gone, as much it pains me to say.

I think getting rid of Pontiac was a stupid, knee jerk reaction by GM. All those great cars gone. Sucks.
