87 Fiero 5k miles

Drove my uncle`s a few times back in the day not a bad car. I wish Chevy or Ford was daring enough to try a reasonably priced mid engine car again, could be a great sports car.
 
I love time-capsule cars from that era.. but IMO that 4cylinder, auto, pre-suspension update Fiero wouldn`t be all that fun to actually drive. Cool little "set it in the corner as decoration" car though. But I`ll be astounded if they get that kind of money for it.
 
The Toyota MR2 was the king in that class. It handled like a go cart. A friend had one in highschool.

Tons of fun. I don`t think that Tiny car would pass today`s safety requirement. The doors and hood felt like tin
 
Did`nt they also have a Fiero GT with a 6 cyl. and a sloped nose? maybe I am thinking of the MR2
 
The Fiero, like many American cars of its time, looked much better than it ran in terms of acceleration and handling.

I worked in service and then sold Dodge cars back then, and we had people cross shop the Colt Turbo for less $ and buy is regularly. The colt was made by Mitsubishi back then and the Japanese were the first to discover that a light car, with HP, that could handle at a low price touched the Americans fun button.

Those were the ones with the decent suspension design.

I kinda liked the origami-style of the earlier ones, but the suspension change was a real difference that mattered from behind the wheel.
 
I remember touring the plant in Pontiac when I was a kid. I always liked those cars.

Most of the plant is gone now....
