Guessing the inability of anyone letting go of tying "Smokey and the Bandit" to the name Firebird and/or Trans Am.
It HAS been 30 years now, and as much as I like 70s era Trans Ams and even the movie, it seems a little silly plastering Burt Reynolds picture on every Firebird drawing.
I don't see anyone bringing up "Vanishing Point" as justification in bringing back the Challenger or "Charlie's Angels" as a selling point for the current retro Mustang.

Its amazing to me how people are still trying assail unassailable logic.
Even if GM ignored the bank book and reason and decided to bring Firebird back it would be nothing more than an arrowhead on the front of Camaro, and cost more.
Then they would be right back on the board posting about how GM abandoned them.

I have noticed that it seems like people think of the firebird in terms of retro-kitsch for whatever reason.

You know for a company that is as adimant about seat belts, it is a little odd that Burt Reynolds who was on a Muscle car show asking Goldberg "You dont need a seat belt do ya?"
Not bashing anyone, I just thought it was just one of those ironic things seeing that Burts movies helped sell the most F bodies ever.
