    I also am looking at the Fiero.  Impressive for a Deeetroit (got that
    pronunciation right finally) offering.  The price and features compare
    well with the Honda Prelude - the Honda having more standard stuff but
    a higher base price.  In Portland, OR the going price seems to be:

     S/E Base  = $9919

     Essential Options:
             Cruise Control - $175
             Rear Defog     - $140
             Tilt Wheel     - $110
             Delay Wiper    -  $50
             Trunk light    -  $30

     Gas mileage is 40 Highway, 25/26 city, w/4-speed and 2.5 liter engine.
     Rumor has it that a 6-cylinder turbo will be available in 85 model.
     Not waiting here.

     AM radio is stock, but the only two stereo's worth considering are both
     AM/FM - cassette.  for $451 you get *true* electronic tuning with seek
     and scan plus a graphic equalizer.  for $248 you get simple AM/FM casette.
     Both stereos have clocks.  Electric Antenna is not available.

     Other things to boost the price:
     A/C $730,  Suede Interior $350, electric: mirrors $79, windows $185,
     locks $125.  Sunroof $300.

     All of the above installed by the factory.  delivery 6-8 weeks.
     ONLY TWO COLORS - Red and White.  Black available after Jan 1.

     A reasonable combination of the above comes to just under 12K$.

     Truely tempting.
     Any owners out there wish to comment on performance, price? 

      deciding very soon,
           Pat Walsh
