I tend to favor early to late 70's Pontiacs, I don't care much for the styling of the newer models. What about you?

I guess it's just personal preference, but I prefer vintage pontiacs.

While I prefer the early 70s pontiacs, I have to give some great respect the later 3rd Gen Firebirds, and especially the Turbo TransAm of the late 80s.

Style wise my favorite is the 70 1/2 to '75 Firebirds/Formulas/Trans Ams. Watch the movie McQ with John Wayne, he's tearing around the streets of Seattle in a 70 or 71 455 Trans Am, until it's destroyed in a very painful scene between two semi trucks.

And of course, who can forget James Garner driving a gold 74-75-76-77 Firebird Esprit in the Rockford Files.
