Brief Fiero History

    1984 was the first production year for Fieros.  It was and still is a very unique auto due to the mid engine placement and a all composite body.  Sales figures skyrocketed, the dealers couldn't get them fast enough.  That was also the highest sales year throughout Fiero production.  The Fiero was also chosen as the official pace car of the Indianapolis 500 that year.  The only drive train available was 4 cylinder with a choice of 3 speed auto or 4 speed manual transmission.

    1985 Pontiac introduced the V-6 into the Fiero and combined it with the new GT model.  The V-6 got a 3 speed auto or a 4 speed manual.  The 4 cylinder got a 5 speed upgrade this year. 

    1986 Pontiac added a fastback to the GT model and upgraded the V-6 to a 5 speed transmission later in the year.  The SE models were upgraded to get the aero package like the GT's have, except the lower trim was painted black instead of silver/grey.

    1987 Didn't bring very much in changes.  This was the only year that blue was an optional color to get your Fiero in.  The coupes got a new style of bumper covers, more rounded than the previous years.

    1988 This was the last year.  Pontiac decided to pull the plug because of declining sales.  There were significant upgrades this year which includes; new suspension, minor engine changes, monotone color scheme to the GT's, new yellow color, and T-Tops available for special order.  Also new this year was the Formula model.  The Formula has the body of the coupe, but it has the drive train and suspension of the GT.  It was said to be the quickest of all the stock Fieros due to its lighter weight from typical lack of options.  Which also happens to be my favorite Fiero :)
