The Formula was advertised as an alternative to the Trans Am and could be ordered with all the options available to the Trans Am with the exception of the fender flares, shaker scoop, and fender heat extractors. The Firebird Esprit was offered as a luxury model that came with appearance options, the deluxe interior package, and a Pontiac 350 as standard equipment. The first year of the second generation Firebird began offering a wider array of model subtypes and marked the appearance of the Firebird Esprit, and the Firebird Formula.

Originally, the "wraparound" style window that occupied more of the b-pillar was initially supposed to be the deisgn, but problems with the glue and sealing the rear window led to the flat style window being used until the re-designed body in 1975. The new design was initially characterized by a large B-pillar, until 1975 when the rear window was enlarged. The top of the rear window line went almost straight down to the lip of the trunk lid. Replacing the "Coke bottle" styling was a more "swoopy" body style, while still retaining some traditional elements. This generation of Firebirds were available in coupe form only after the 1969 model year, convertibles were not available until 1989. The second-generation debut for the 1970 model year was delayed until February 26, 1970, because of tooling and engineering problems thus, its popular designation as a 1970½ model, while leftover 1969s were listed in early Pontiac literature without a model-year identification. The second generation Pontiac Firebird was introduced in early 1970 by Pontiac for the 1970 model year.
