You mean one of these: :y
This ones in Leicester


or this one in Bournmouth





They're nice but would find something better to spend £22K on.  Probably RHD too

Quite a nice looking car from the side view but I don't like the front end.  :o

I'd rather have an RX8 or an S2000 I think.

I bet they're only $22k in the US... which works out as less than £11k at the current exchange rate :o

Reasonably nice looking but I wouldn't expect much of the build quality if the Pontiac I hired in the US is any indication.

That's true. US cars are cheap for a reason. They're disposable. Not worth paying UK prices for them.

The car they used to use in "Knight Rider" was a Pontiac Firebird and apparantly at one stage they considered building a Knight Rider production version but then Pontiac heard some guy was planning to jump the grand canyon or similar in his DIY version.  Forseeing a wave of shattered wrecks, bloody corpses and massive lawsuits, they abandonded the idea (according to urban legend)
