Pontiac Fiero. 1984–8 (prod. 370,168). 2-door coupé, 2-door fastback coupé. M/R, 2474 cm³ (I4 OHV), 2836 cm³ (V6 OHV). Neatly designed, small, mid-engined sports car, hampered by its Iron Duke engine (though the V6 was added in 1985 for the GT model). Never that sporting, and gained an image for poor reliability. Fastback from 1986, and new suspension design for 1988, finally sorting the car’s shortcomings. However, these last revisions proved short-lived, as Pontiac killed the line after it was made good.
