Whoever updated the history of Fiero on Wikipedia sounds like a pissed corvette fan. (Page 2/5)

Nothing wrong with a Camry or a basement. Some of the best people I've known have lived in a basement for a time. One even owned an M1 Carbine. One of my relatives owned a Camry and cooked a lot of meals for me over the years.

Here's my Corvette. The body shape is called a Corvette by this brand.


And here's a local Corvette for sale. It needs about everything.

Corvette still like using the word "first". It could just as easily have said:

"It is also GM's SECOND mid-engine production car since the 1984 Pontiac Fiero."

The website is correct; the new Corvette is the first since the Fiero.

The irony is the fact the new rear engine Corvette is oversold! Recent article came out that dealers have more orders than inventory. I'm proud to own a Fiero that told Corvette what they needed to so!

Yep, my brother ordered one in December and was supposed to get it in June but now maybe not until closer to 2021...

That article written by a Wikipedia contributor is undoubtedly an imbecile. A Corvette is a very nice car but IMO, not worth $80K . They also lose their value. If you look at used 80's Corvettes with their 170 HP V8's, many of them now sell for less than the price of a Fiero. My Fieros make me happy.

You coulda got the base model at 60k. It's worth that at a bargain. Local dealerships got allocated 15 each for the first year. The dealer I checked said the strike pushed the first arrivals to Feb or March and was readying to take orders on the next model year or allotment for March ordering. It was in Nov that I talked to them so it's fuzzy now. You put $2500 down to order is all I remember. I'm not in a position to order or I would.

The new C8 is now in production. The strike delayed things but they will try to get as many built as they can, Those not filled will go to next year. But that only means a slight delay.

I have been in the new car and it is spectacular. It is well built and very comfortable. The onboard electronics do all sorts of crazy things.

The drivers seat is well laid out. The passenger side feels like you are sitting in an Indy car tub or side car. It is a bit enclosed feeling.

GM hit a home run with this one as it offers performance levels that only can be found in much higher priced cars.

The C5-7 models will be down on price now for a while as supplies are higher than demand. They are killer bargains. Many low mile models out there to be had cheap.


The C8 will be in high demand for a while,

I love my Fiero and will keep it but I was looking to add a C1 to my garage but now I am tempted to look to a C8 at some point.

It is time to stop the them and us BS. Most Corvette owners I meet all have been very respectful of my car and many also own a Fiero too. Now they have a Mid Engine car it will put more focus on the Fiero as the little brother. The relationship with a current model and a very good model could really put the Fiero in a good light with the general public.

This is really a good thing for the Fiero. If we get put more popular values can go up and it may help more repo parts being made if there is demand. There are only positives here.
