I don't know what it is, but as time goes on, I hate the 79 - 82 styling more and more. And this is probably the most unflattering angle that proves what a mess the front fascia is compared to 78. |

#1, You're not alone. I've always hated this fascia. The emblem is given too much prominence - and the now separated halogens look like shit. I know the halogen is virtually identical to any of the millions of GM vehicles that have had them in their 30-50 year run - but every time I see these late 2nd gen TA - I think of an old Chev20 Van from years ago when I was a child. Up close - the van headlights looked cheap - ill-fitting - and built to a price. I get the exact same impression looking at the above TA. |

Apparently James Garner agreed. Even though Jim Rockford had gotten a new Firebird every year since 1974, he stopped updating the model years after 1978 because he hated the look of the 1979s so much. And the performance....the cars used from season 2 onward were Formula 400s redressed to look like Esprits, and the Formulas in California weren't available with anything better than the Oldsmobile 403 starting in 1979. The show ran until 1980, and even in the reunion movies in the '90s he was still driving a '78 Firebird.
#4, My favorites are the 1974-1976s. There, I said it. |

Funnily enough, 79' was the best year for the 2nd gets, saleswise.
Adding to the reasons to hate them, three words: Turbo 301 Pontiac
