America's first and as of 2008 only mid-engine two seater sports car, and still the record holder for the fastest selling American sports car. It was first launched by the Pontiac division of General Motors in 1984 as a sporty commuter car using a 2.5L 4-cylinder engine. The Fiero featured a lightweight but sturdy "space frame" with fiberglass body panels attached to the frame that would never rust.
Public outcry resulted in GM adding a 2.8L V6 as part of a GT option for 1985, and in 1986 the GT would get its own body style known as the "fastback". Non-fastbacks would become known as "notchbacks".
In 1987 the notchbacks' bumpers were slightly redesigned. The GT's suspension was redesigned to feel more like a sports car in 1988. Also, the Formula option was added, using the GT's redesigned suspension and 2.8L V6, but built on a notchback body.
The car was canceled in 1988. Reasons are mixed, but many believe Fiero was cutting into Corvette sales. Others believe the car's reputation was destroyed after a fire issue with the engine in the early 1984 models due to the wrong oil pan being installed (all 1984 Fieros were recalled and had larger oil pans installed). The car today has a loyal following with many parts and modifications available. Many owners have installed V8's in their Fieros, including Corvette's LS1.
All Saturns, and the Pontiac Trans Sport/Chevrolet Lumina APV minivans were designed in a similar way to the Fiero featuring the fiberglass body panels and space frame.

Get the Flerf mug.fierce; very impressive, remarkable, or outstanding; inspiring awe, admiration, or wonderment; a way to describe the high one might get from a drug, dance club, or party; (thought to be derived from "ferocious" as an alternate way of saying "fierce" as it became over-used specifically in gay culture).

Get the Flerken mug.A flerb is a form of measurement. The equation for flerbs changes daily. They are so many variables in the equation that there is no way for you to figure out what those variables stand for, thus making the measurement useless. The measurement might be useless, but flerbs are vary useful for writing on math tests when you don't know the answer. That number of flerbs might be equal to the answer of the question.
"Today's equation for flerbs is - (a + b) - arc length of semicircle x volume of box."
The variables aren't defined at all. You have no idea what a and b stand for, or what semicircle I'm talking about, or what box I'm talking about.
