Re: Why dont they produce fieros anymore?

everyones right here in their own way sales did drop in 87-88 and the vette competition is true as well. the fiero was designed to look like a ferrari 308 but an american economy ferrari. the car was designed both to be an economy and sports car. the 4 cyl "iron duke" engine was the comuter and the v6 was the sport. gm didnt sink much money in this car as it is designed with old parts from other gm cars. but they did make the 84 indy now the real indy used on the track had around 200 hp the production indy never saw that but pontiac also made a drag fiero, and carried the fiero namesake into le mans racing. the 88 was the best designed fiero but not many people have seen the 87-88 fiero convertible concept. fiero was on the way to being a great car but at that point in pontiacs history they moved away from power to more "family cars" as most of the late 80s early 90s car makers did. and about the car ever returning...its possible the fiero name was just re trademarked my GM so it may return in the near future.
