Luminator9c3 Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 i don't know why anyone would waste their money on that chevy version of g8. way to ruin that platform As of right now, it is not marketed to the public. This means that it is also not designed to please the public. It's meant to be a very basic, plain-looking car that performs extremely well. I think it accomplished that goal. To say that this car ruined the platform is just silly. GM could take that car and give it a sporty facelift and call it an Impala SS and people would love it. I predict you will see a few more cars built on the platform, all of which will surely look more snazzy than the Caprice. The reason that some people wish to "waste" their money and spend the effort to obtain a Caprice is simply for the nostalgic value of the car. Some people have an extra 30k lying around that they don't mind wasting. I've seen people spend that much money on much stupider things.

GOT2B GM Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 (edited) 90 Fiero GT concept THAT'S RIGHT ...early early early LQ1 in there!! 90 Notchback concept Edited November 15, 2011 by GOT2B GM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel87 Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 The Fiero was a cool ass little car, too bad they dropped it like they do everything else. The concept is pretty neat, I like how the rear end dips in, like the tail lights... pretty unique. I would love a Fiero, but I would need a booster seat since im only 5 foot 10. You pretty much sit on the road in those cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeremy Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 The notchback looks like a stock notch with some sort of home made body work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mater Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 the fast back had the same vibe as well. still pretty neat working on that LQ1 would be a PITA though lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was still pretty big when I got into Fiero's back in 2002ish... I never was a big fan of the chops in general, but on that one I liked it with the suicide doors... And IIRC the LQ1 prototype in the 90 concept was 3.2 liters... Not that it really matters, but I like trivia.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alec_b Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 Why would anyone WANT a fiero? I had one and it was quite horrible. Terrible on gas, shit brakes, shit heat, shit handling, shit power, basically shit everything. A light breeze could blow it off the road. Hard to work on. Cooling system was a joke. I'm sure there's more. 3.2 engine packed in there looks cool though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alec_b Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 Low 20's on the highway in a lightweight 4-cyl car IS terrible. I had the 2.5 auto. The worst combination. By hard to work on I was referring mostly to the engine bay. Even the 2.5 was put in there at an odd angle, I remember belts being a total pain. Granted I did have an '85 model, and an early one at that. It was by no means a good car, and it was low miles. 90ish thousand. Not anything any highschooler in Minnesota should have been driving. And yes I drove it in the winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOT2B GM Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 Yeah ok, that's where I wasn't seeing eye to eye with you. I have an 88 GT 5 spd, better motor , better trans, and better suspension. If I put an LQ1 in mine, I'd have the mechanicals of the 90 concept (minus the power steering setup which was long promised for the Fiero but never made into production) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
