Pontiac is in the process of completely rejuvenating its
lineup, introducing a bold new design and injecting some much-needed sportiness
to its cars.
We first saw this with the latest 2017 Trans Am Hybrid which
look rather dashing in their current form and worlds apart from the rather dull
models they replace.
Next in the pipeline is the replacement for the Pontiac
flagship sedan and beyond that we should see a redesigned Trans Am Hybrid, the
latter is expected to be revealed late next year before starting sales early in
2017.
2017 Trans Am Hybrid Sportier and more upmarket
Previously, we heard the new 2017 Trans Am Hybrid, which
is expected to launch as a 2014 model, will be based on a stretched version of
the rear-wheel drive platform underpinning the Pontiac Firebird.
Sharing this platform would mean Pontiac could spread the
cost of development the new 2017 Trans Am Hybrid coupe and possibly another
convertible.
Though adopting a Pontiac platform is yet to be
confirmed, another major departure for the 2017 Trans Am Hybrid could be its
exterior styling. Speaking with Drive, the marketing chief for Pontiac has
revealed that the design of the new 2017 Trans Am Hybrid will be “revolutionary.”
He explained that Pontiac cannot afford to be careful anymore and that a dramatic
design is needed to take on strong competitors.
