I'm not much into games shows, but does anyone remember if a Fiero was ever a prize on like The Price is Right or other gameshows?

Yep.
I remember in the mid-eighties,there was a game show called"Sale of the Century",and at the end they had like 5 cars you could win.One time they were all poniacs,and the Fiero was one of them
Also,they gave one away on "Lets make a deal",a white coupe I believe,and there was one given away years back on "The price is right".It's kinda cool to think aint it?

as a kid i DO remember a purdy Red 86GT on the price is Right
then just a few years ago (97-98)i seen the same episode re-run on the game show channel

thats one of my favorite reasons i like watching older game shows, (to see the prizes from back in the day)

but they no longer re-run episones of Price is right on GSN anymore

I've got a vid cap here of a cheesey 80's dating game type show whose grand prize was a fiero (1984 maybe?) http://members.shaw.ca/BC-GT/Fiero_Ad.asf

On the Classic Concentration game (made after the game show) for the old school Nintendo, you can win a Fiero in the final round when you have to match the cars and whatever one you match last in the time you have is the one you win.

I believe that I saw a Fiero for a prize on The New Let's Make a Deal. It was from 1983 so it would have been an '84 model.

I know that it doesn't make any sense to own a 2 seater car when I have 4 children; but I DON'T CARE!!

Well, I can say that I have seen and talked to one of the owners of this car. About 3 years ago, I had seen this Bright Red Fiero GT sitting in front of an auto shop on my way back from the junkyard getting Fiero parts!

I stopped by and talked to the guy that owned it, he said that his wife won it in a coco-cola promotion and he happended to take it for a drive that day. I asked about possibly selling it soon and he didn't want to sell.

As far as seeing Fieros in games shows no, but I did come across a seventeen magazine that had a beauty contest and the prize was an' 87 Fiero cp.

.....don't ask how I came across the magazine.

According to the description, this car was won on The Price is Right:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=6419&item=2442537416

They've got it listed as a GT, but it's an SE.
