No such thing as a perfectly good Fiero. I used to have Fieros, just the thought of having anything to do with one makes me want to vomit! They were awful cars, no perfomance, poor quality, and hard to work on. GM had some good ideas, but the execution of those ideas was emasculated by the '80's bean counters.

Well i never owned one but it seems they kinda figured things out on them in the last year of production (1988 I think?) and in GM's wisdom is when they pulled the plug.
Sometimes a good idea or concept needs some development time but American manufacturers don't have patience for that like our European and Japanese friends do.
