Spotted... Fierrari

[habsfan]

a well organized and mostly mature forum thats, dare i say it, more like a community than just a place to spend time. although there are alot of members on beyond, there's a much smaller number of members that post regularily, so its alot more friendly. at least thats why i think so

Habsfan in Niagara huh?

I visited the Falls in Canada 2 weeks ago for the first time. Was great!

Watched Canada beat Slovokia tonight 5-0 in the World Cup. Great game!

Mario played great for a 38 year old who only played 10 games last year. I guess the surgery and off season training payed off.

Thanks for the info about the Fiero and (ugh) Mera, but I have one HUGE question...Is it possible that GM was that F'in stupid to think that they could get away with such a blatant copyright infringment/patent and design thefts? The Mera should be the laughing stock of the automotive world as far as real car enthusiasts are concerned...I'd laugh sooo hard if I knew someone that bought one....

I highly doubt that

Actually he is correct. That would be a Pontiac Mera. In 1987 and 1988 Pontiac offered the Mera. It was only offered through Pontiac Dealships as a new car. It was not a kit, it was a brand new car backed by a factory GM warranty.


HAhaha the rolling eyes have been foiled!

Thanks, his post more than corrected it
The rolling eyes come out the victor again


I just thought it was retarded to think any car company would blatantly copy another companies car like that, but I guess we are talking about pontiac lol

Now THIS is what I call a Fiero.....

This 88 GT is owned by a GM designer and has been featured in many auto magazines:

http://www.fiero.nl/forum/Forum1/HTML/025670.html

1/4 mile = 12.2 seconds
0-60 mph = 4.2 seconds
Top speed = 165 mph
lateral G's = 1.17

It's too bad GM has to make the corvette the top performer. If the fiero was continued into the 90's it would have been a MR2 killer.

I was really looking forward to a W41 powered fiero.....

I stumbled across an article on eBay about the car...

Yeah, California Kid's Fiero is nice, but I think Skitime's still tops it.


Anyhoo, here's what the Fiero was supposed to have become, until it got canceled due to the fact they put in a bigger engine and it ended up spanking the Corvette.

2:

Imagine this vs. the MR2... fantastic stuff!

[TurboMedic]

I loved my Fiero, had cool options like the suede seats, WS6 suspension, etc....I also would have liked to have seen the Fiero continue with that concept design above....very attractive car!

I still don't understand why people would want to change their car to look like something else. For the same amount of money they can make it look nicer with real mods. People these days...
