Early Fiero was an economy car styled like a sports car Posted by MI-Roger [Email] (#882) [Profile/Gallery] (more from MI-Roger) on Thu, 16 Sep 2010 17:15:49 In Reply to: Re: Shoulda been a Sonett... or in a 9-3., No Snaab, Wed, 15 Sep 2010 07:47:33 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
People saw it and immediatley assumed it was a small performance sports car. What they didn't realize was the front end came from a Chevete and the rear end (with engine and cradle) came from a Citation (X car). The handling and performance was what you could expect from these uninspired bin parts.
By the time the car died out it had eveolved into what the initial buyers were expecting, a great little sports car. But by then too many cusotmers were P-O'ed about the car and didn't realize how good the final cars were.
Apparenlty Saab investigated the Kappa platform during the Soltice/Sky/GT production run and gave it a big thumbs down.
