Err, while I do not want to debate the styling of the Fiero, I recently found out from someone in the know that the engine failure rate for the four-cylinder is exceptionally high. In fact, it is supposed to be somewhere around 16%, meaning that 16 % of all four bangers screw up in less than 12,000 miles. Apparently, the main problem seems to be overheating and associated warpage, etc. Bernard H. Schwab Siemens RTL, Princeton, NJ
