Check out this Pontiac

It's a Pontiac Sunfire American Tuner concept. I think it looks really cool. I'm not a fan of Sunfires at all, but this one is sweet!

From the basic Sunfire, that's got a kit, rims, a hood, a spoiler, what appears to be a single side-exit exhaust, and headlights....too bad that never got made. That was the last model of Sunfires, they've been completely redesigned.

I cant believe they are still making this car. They have been making this body style since the release of the Sunfire. They need to finally dump that car like GM has been planning or redesign the body style.

That pic of that car looks pretty nice, but I still wont buy one.

My gf drives a sunfire and I make fun of her for it. My ex just bought a CRX Si 5-speed. Damn the world.

In 2005 GM will drop the Cavalier and it will be replaced with Cobalt with a 2.2 and 2.0 SC. GM will continue to use the Sunfire. There are strong indications that the Sunfire will stay the same for some time but it may change in 2005. There is also talk that since the Vibe outsold the Matrix, Vibe will eventually replace the Sunfire in that market.

This is an old model by the way. You can buy the parts on the car. The lights I know are made by Hella. So any one with a sunfire can make his/her car look like that one.

I was told that GM was going to discontinue the sunfire/cavalier in 2004 or 2005. The person that told me this is a fleet manager at Discount Car and Truck Rentals. I took his word for it since a "HUGE" portion of our rental car fleet is composed of those J-body pieces of ****.

I know both vibe and matrix don't have nice sell.

but I also know Vibe died. That is, its sales is so low they will cut it.

They should kill or cut the Sunfire. It's good that the Cavalier is going away, I hate J Bodies mainly because everytime I would get behind the wheel of one I would feel like it was about to fall apart on me. That and the lack of power (does not apply to the Z24 or GT) that they have, makes you feel like your not able to go anywhere. Wind noise is terrible, and worst of all there are more of these cars on the side of the road than any other.

but at the price of 10 000$ they can be attractive to people who can not afford 15 000$
