First, that car, did not go to the crusher. It is in a secret GM warehouse where they have countless concept cars. Jon Moss at the time was director of this section.

And I see nobody here gave no type of info here.


This Concept model came out in 1990. It was the very first Sunfire nameplate on a car for Pontiac. It had a 2.0L DOHC
with Turbo which made 190 HP according to GM. It had a 5-speed Getrag tranny, Carbon Fiber panes, long 109in wheelbase
4 wheel independent suspension and all sorts of features that concept cars have.
Since GM had more money to spend, GM decided to evolve the Sunfire Concept to a less radical style. So eventually this...





Becomes this.
This model came out in 1994. By now we saw a glimpse at was going to replace the Sunbird. It had a S/C 2400 DOHC with Ram Air,
4 wheel disc brakes, "modular front with tubular rear suspension," the wheelbase was shrunk to 104.1in which as you notice, it is the
same as today's Sunfire.
So like typical GM concept-to reality cars, this car...



Became this. Yep,and like typical GM concept to reality, it was watered down too.
But of course it is road, crash worthy now and yes, buildable.
As you can see GM decided to retain a lot of the original's styling, albeit less radical.




So that was a quick & brief history of the Sunfire and it's concept.

I like it quite a bit, especially the exhaust exit.

mirrors yes... have to go.

Give it a V-8 and make it RWD, and I would absolutely love it.. it looks like it's begging for more power.

That'd be the problem. No time, money, and I need the car (DD).

I like the exhaust exits. The tail lights look much better on the concept, and those deep dish rims are wiked. I think the concepts looks really great. Probably just ahead of their time.
