25: The Fiero
Talk about a car that needs to be revived, the Fiero was the mid-engined sports car that never got a chance. After the engine fire debacle, the company didn’t put too much time into it anymore and the Fiero fell into obscurity. But the market for a mid-engine sports car that was affordable is here and a modern Fiero could sell quite well. Not only would it sell well but it would also generate a lot of interest in GM. Consumers who grew up with the Fiero would instantly remember the car from their youth.
There were a lot of aspects that made the Fiero a great car, and the first was the basic design. The car was nimble and had some of the best handlings of the period. There’s a market for the Fiero if GM can find it within the company to create a compelling car. While crossovers are popular they won’t be popular forever, and when the bubble bursts GM will need another sales success.
