[Shotimes] Re: OT: Pontiac Fiero or is it Firero? :)

[Bill Murray]

The thing I think of the most about the Fiero, are all of the kits that
stretch it and use it as a base, lol.  Its probably only second to the
VW Bug for kit cars.  Those and my uncles girlfriend had one.  I was
about 6 or 7 at the time and fascinated with pop-up head lights.  Every
time I would see her, I'd make her turn them on for me.  I still love
the C4 vette lights and how the bucket completely rotates.

(4) Image.  Weak performance, numb handling, and engine bay fires is
what
people do (and will) remember about the Fiero.  The pre-1984 teaser ads
created such anticipation for the car, however the product the public
got in
1984 left them extremely disappointed because it wasn't the sub-$10k
sports
car they thought they were getting.  This left a bad taste in buyer's
mouths
and they swore off Pontiac.
