    That said, I am hardly a purist. I have a soft spot for the Fiero.

That car had the potential to be amazing. Unfortunately GM stuffed it with a bunch of mediocre parts, allegedly because they didn't want it to chip away at The Corvette's sales numbers. During its last production year, things started to go straight and you get to see hints of what The Fiero could have been. Wikipedia has a great little history of the car. Interstingly, this wasn't the first time GM was afraid of Pontiac up staging The Corvette. Pontiac's Banshee I concept car never got to see production.
