Here is one that I've never seen anybody post but me. I was watching Black Hawk Down and spotted this one. I had to rewind and play in slow motion on my VCR to double check that I saw what I thought I saw. Maybe if somebody has the DVD and a Digital camera they could get a better shot. https://www.fiero.nl/forum/Archives/Archive-000002/HTML/20050119-1-042775.html

I saw an older "B" action movie at the video store, had a ferrari on the cover, I took one look at it, and was like "THATS a Fiero!" I rented it just to fast foward through it and sure enough it was chocked full of rebodies. Seemed like 1 out of every 3 cars in it was a rebodied Fiero. Cant remember the name though

I was watching Sportscar Revolution on Speed Channel last weekend. They did a feature on Autocrossing and showed a heavily modified Fiero going through the course. It was more like a custom tube frame with white Fiero notchback panels, but close enough.

The movie Something Wild staring Jeff Daniels and Melony Griffith, durring the class reunion scene, you can clearly see parked in front of the building what is an Indy Fiero.
Still can't find the video clip but I found the transcript It's the 4x4 episode Hummer sitting on Top of the Fiero after the accident:
GRISSOM: Is this a Fiero?
(Brass leads Grissom around the two cars.)
BRASS: Yeah, the old Fiero. Kind of makes you nostalgic for a "members only" jacket. Anyway, the Hummer was going the wrong way on a one-way street. The guy in the Fiero, lucky to be alive. Nobody saw the driver get out.

In fast in the Furious. The seen when all the cars leave cause the cops are coming. There is a shot of a fiero. About only 0.6 sec of it but I am sure that it was a fiero.
Happened to catch a few minutes of "A View to a Kill" on AMC tonight -- just as it was in the fire truck chase scene. Just as the drawbridge is going up to try to stop Bond (in the stolen fire truck, of course) which fails (of course) the first car shown to pull up to the barricade and stop is -- a red notchie. Now we're faced with the musical question: "Why, if Bond could leap the gap in a (stolen) FIRE TRUCK, did the red notchie even bother to slow down, much less stop at the barricade?" Alas, it must have been poetic license, a lackluster effort by the screenplaywright to show us Bond's superior (if mythical) skills.
Anyone else see one of these things (this snippet must have been all of .5 second) and start questioning yourself later? As in, "Did I really see a Fiero there?"

Just to set the record straight, Bond (James Bond) wasn't driving the fire truck. Tonya Roberts was.
(yep, I saw it too, and since the movie was made in '85 it couldn't have been newer than that, probably and '84)

When I first saw posts here about the sighting on How I Met Your Mother, I filled out a contact form on the CBS website. I just now received the reply below, but now I don't remember what I originally said or asked. I probably asked if they can tell me whose car it is and if they intend to do any more Fiero scenes. Anyway, if any of you want to write the producers, go for it...

The Fiero in "Big Trouble in Little China" is an 86-87 SE as it has black ground effects
There is also one in Total Recall, cant remember when i just know its when arnold is running from something and I believe he hops into a taxi, but he runs by a Fiero with a body kit on it to make it look more "futuristic"

Ok, I'll bet none of the guys saw this one. The Golden Girls. That's right, The Golden Girls. I love that show. Anyway, Rose is coming out of the dentist office, and walking through a parking garage. She walks right past a Fiero to get to her car. I loved it! It's the episode where they have a break in at the house at the beginning of the show, and Rose becomes scared of everything. It is in the first season, episode is called "Break-in"
Also on Dallas, but can't remember which episode.

Found yet another tonight. The movie is called "Scarred City". There was nothing else on so I watched it and saw a red notchie on the right side of the road when two characters are walking down the road. The scene lasted longer then I expected, had I known it would last so long I would grabbed my camera. Its about an hour into the movie.
In an episode of Magnum PI, at the beginning of the episode "Death and Taxes" the killer is drving a red 85 GT down the strip. The way teh scene was filmed, we are meant to believe it's Magnum driving the Ferrari, but you can definately tell it's a Fiero, especially when he gets out and you can see the 14" high-tech rims.
