Then when Toyota introduced their MR2 a year later, the initial partying at Pontiac had died down a lot. Of course, as we all know in hindsight, they pretty much bungled it from the start by saddling it with the Iron Duke, GM’s 4-cylinder 2.5liter that wasn’t known for either show or go and by simply re-using the suspension bits from some decidedly uninspiring vehicles such as the Citation and Chevette. Pontiac certainly had a potential hit on their hands, as here was a small two seater, mid-engine, with some interesting body technology. The Fiero, while interesting to me when new, debuted a little before I got my driver’s license, and I recall it as being a pretty big deal back then, even in Southern California. What I didn’t expect is that it was no longer a stock example. I’m glad I held out as my luck changed recently when this first year example popped up. I’ve been looking for a Fiero to feature in this series for a while and while I have found a couple, they were so stripped down by the time I located them that I didn’t think they were worthy.
