This year's SEMA show might have been a bit smaller than in years past, but there were certainly some heavy hitters in the crowd that proved the old "quality, not quantity" adage.

Hard to believe, isn’t it. TV.com has put together a list called “Our 10 Favorite TV Cars.” Selections include Starsky and Hutch’s Gran Torino, The A-Team’s “badass” GMC van (can a van ever reasonably be called “badass”?), The Green Hornet’s Chrysler Crown Imperial, and Batman’s winged Lincoln Futura concept car ... but there’s...

Yes, it’s true! What you see in the photos is the car that will hit the U.K. dealerships in January 2010. As you can see, the car will feature Lamborghini Reventon-style swollen nostrils and a Pontiac Trans-Am inspired ducktail spoiler, giving it an aggressive look.

Many fans mourned the death of the Pontiac but they have all but put thoughts of the factory-built Firebird Trans Am behind them. You can just imagine how the news of Lingenfelter Performance Engineering’s decision to resurrect the car based on the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro was received.
