I'd drive it!

Wow, never expected to have to move a thread from TO/T to a Fiero related section (instead of the other way around). 😁

Very nice article.

Wow it would have been cool to see that wrap around glass on the notchback iteration.
But the fastback is very sleek!
Saw it at the Fiero 35th Anniversary show!

It does not drive the best, it creaks a little going over bumps. Does not have the best tuning radius . Very strange feeling looking at the rear view mirror. When I had it , it felt down on power like it needed a tune up or something, but it has been sitting. I am sure Fred it will get tuned up and running right once he gets it back from the museum.

Looks like a cool "oddity" of a car, but I doubt it would have sold well. Those back seats are pretty much useless in real life, and the addition certainly didn't make the car look "better" than a 2 seat version. Kind of like the 2+2 version of the Nissan 280 and 300 ZX back in the day.... Some Porsche 911 models had back seats, but again, totally useless except to throw a hand bag or a small dog back there.

It is a neat concept, but I think it would have been smarter of GM to experiment with a convertible or a better engine back in the day to keep the Fiero alive...

It is great to see this prototype having survived, and I am glad it is being kept in pristine condition!

Considering it seems like GM strangled the Fiero most of its existence, it was a miracle it ever made it into production.
I get the impression Pontiac was doing what it could to keep things going and have options.
The 89/90 prototype did have a different engine. Pontiac did also experiment with convertibles.
