![]() ĭue to engineering problems that delayed the introduction of the new 1970 Firebird beyond the usual fall debut, Pontiac continued production of 1969 model Firebirds into the early months of the 1970 model year (the other 1970 Pontiac models had been introduced on September 18, 1969). A total of 689 hardtops and eight convertibles were made. In March 1969, a US$1,083 ($8,998 in 2023 ) optional handling package called the "Trans Am performance and appearance package", UPC "WS4", named after the Trans Am Series, was introduced. The ignition switch was moved from the dashboard to the steering column with the introduction of GM's new locking ignition switch/steering wheel. The instrument panel and steering wheel were revised. The 1969 model received a major facelift with a new front-end design but unlike the GTO, it did not have the Endura bumper. The front door vent-windows was replaced with a single pane of glass and Astro Ventilation, a fresh-air-inlet system. Modifications for 1968 included the addition of federally-mandated side marker lights: for the front of the car, the turn signals were made larger and extended to wrap around the front edges of the car, and on the rear, the Pontiac (V-shaped) Arrowhead logo was added to each side. During 1969 a special 303 cu in (5.0 L) engine was designed for Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) road racing applications that were not available in production cars. The 350 cu in (5.7 L) HO engine was revised again with a different cam and cylinder heads resulting in 325 hp (242 kW). ![]() There was an additional Ram Air IV option for the 400 cu in (6.6 L) V8 engines during 1969, complementing the Ram Air 400(now often colloquially but incorrectly called the "Ram Air III," a name never used by Pontiac). The power output of the other engines was increased marginally. An HO version of the 350 cu in (5.7 L) with a revised cam was also offered to start in that year, which developed 320 hp (239 kW). Also for the 1968 model, the 326 cu in (5.3 L) engine was replaced by the Pontiac 350 cu in (5.7 L) V8, which actually displaced 354 cu in (5.8 L), and produced 265 hp (198 kW) with a two-barrel carburetor. The 230 cu in (3.8 L) engines were subsequently enlarged for 1968 to 250 cubic inches(4.1 liters), the base version developing an increased 175 hp (130 kW) using a one-barrel carburetor, and the high-output Sprint version the same 215 hp with a four-barrel carburetor. Power for the Ram Air package was the same as the conventional 400 HO, but peaked at 5,200 rpm. A "Ram Air" option was also available, providing functional hood scoops, higher flow heads with stronger valve springs, and a hotter camshaft. All 1967–1968 400 CI engines had throttle restrictors that blocked the carburetors' secondaries from fully opening. Most buyers opted for one of three V8s: the 326 cu in (5.3 L) with a two-barrel carburetor producing 250 hp (186 kW) the four-barrel "HO" (high output) 326, producing 285 hp (213 kW) or the 325 hp (242 kW) 400 cu in (6.6 L) from the GTO. The "Sprint" model six came with a four-barrel carburetor, developing 215 hp (160 kW). Based on the architecture of the standardĬhevrolet 230 cu in (3.8 L) inline-six, it was fitted with a one-barrel Rochester carburetor and rated at 165 hp (123 kW). The 1967 base model Firebird came equipped with the Pontiac 230 cu in (3.8 L) SOHC inline-six. The listed retail price before options for the coupe was $2,666 ($24,361 in 2023 dollars ) and the convertible was $2,903 ($28,519 in 2023 dollars ). However, GM feared this would cut into Chevrolet Corvette sales, and gave Pontiac a piece of the " pony car" market by sharing the F-body platform with Chevrolet. Originally, the car was a "consolation prize" for Pontiac, which had desired to produce a two-seat sports car based on its original Banshee concept car. Both a two-door hardtop and a convertible were offered through the 1969 model year. ![]() The Firebird's rear "slit" taillights were inspired by the 1966–1967 Pontiac GTO and Pontiac Grand Prix. Announcing a Pontiac styling trend, the Firebird's bumpers were integrated into the design of the front end, giving it a more streamlined look than the Camaro. The first generation Firebird had characteristic Coke bottle styling shared with its cousin, the Chevrolet Camaro.

And that would have been okay if those new additions got the respect they deserved, but the moment that they had their place in the spotlight they were sidelined almost immediately after. Sure we also lost some characters along the way, but we ended with a surplus of characters. The worst part of all this is that they were doing okay for the first half of Orion, because once it got to the world tournament they ended up ADDING characters to the main team. What is the issue is that there is no way for us to bond with any of them as there is no feasible way for Orion to properly showcase any character growth whatsoever (except if you are one of the main characters). The characters themselves are perfectly fine, that's not the issue. Orion's Inazuma Japan starts out with nineteen members right from the first episode, which is a bigger problem than most people might realize. The Inazuma Japan from Galaxy had thirteen members at most. The Inazuma Japan from the original Inazuma Eleven had sixteen members at any given time. I could write this whole review just about the characters in Orion, but. ![]() I will also admit that I am a pretty big fan of the third ED of Orion and more than its OP, which is something I can't say I am since Maji Bomber all the way back in the original Inazuma Eleven's third season.Ĭharacter (2/10) - Oh boy. Sound (6/10) - The soundtracks of Inazuma Eleven has always been pretty good, and even though I feel like it has gone down with Ares and Orion, they're still pretty decent. I am not that big of a fan of these if that was not obvious. I know that there are goal celebrations in the other installments of Inazuma Eleven, but these somehow feel. Orion also does this thing where they have goal celebrations from the characters of the main team, especially in the first half of Orion. The animation of all the new techniques introduced in Orion (and there are a lot of them!) has certainly improved, but none barring one (maybe two) of these were techniques that left me with a spark and in awe. ![]() In short, the story tried to focus on one specific plot point but it ended up becoming a rushed mess that, honestly, was quite all over the place.Īrt (4/10) - With a new franchise come new techniques and new animation techniques to, well. Orion also suffers from the same pacing problem that Ares had, but then cranked up to an eleven (more on that in the Enjoyment part of this review). Sure there are only so few plot ideas they could have gone for with what is effectively Inazuma Eleven's eighth arc, but it really feels very weak. By trying too hard to reference everything, Orion ends up in this weird space where it cannot stand out from the others. ![]() ![]() but the execution of everything is horrid, there is no other way to describe it. It would serve as a little bit of an easter egg for the faithful fans who have watched every episode of every season where we could go "Ah, that came from Galaxy, and that one came from the Aliea Academy arc!". Orion takes inspiration from the other Inazuma Eleven seasons, every one of them if you want to analyze every little frame, and this was a nice idea. All right, so those watching Orion will directly notice several things. I also make a handful of references to the other installments of Inazuma Eleven in this review to try and emphasize my point. I waited until I watched every episode of this to know for sure whether or not I would be certain of my decision, and having watched all 49 episodes I can say this with no regret: I am really disappointed with what Orion has become. It hurts, as a big Inazuma Eleven fan who watched the franchise ever since the first season of Inazuma Eleven was still airing, to give such a low rating for an Inazuma Eleven franchise. |
