The Pontiac Fiero turned heads with its sleek, wedge-shaped body and daring mid-engine design—features rarely seen in its price range. Sadly, early Fieros were hampered by underpowered engines and persistent build quality problems, leading to frequent recalls. Although later models saw significant improvements, their arrival was too late to save the Fiero’s reputation. See more at MotorTrend
