1987 Pontiac Fiero Promo – Elope Fiero Style
Two seat mid engine sports cars. The configuration is acknowledged as the way to go for all-out enthusiastic driving.
The Fiero started out as a relatively tame 4-cylinder “commuter” with an awkward 4-seed gearbox and eventually offered the buyer a substantial list of options like V-6 engine, 5-speed Muncie/Getrag transmission, and GT body with a new nose and an extended roofline. But the original suspension, derived from the lowly Chevrolet Chevette in front and the front-drive half-shafts (and thus the wide track) of the Citation for the rear, was compromised all along.
Notchback 1987 Pontiac Fieros including the SE got the nose of the mid-1986 fast back profile GT, and all models came with a standard five-speed instead of the four speed. Alas, rising insurance rates on two-seaters cut Fiero sales in half to 49,311.
