Pontiac Fiero
1984-1988
The Pontiac Fiero started an entire trend or budget extoic like sports cars, but for teh first model year, there was a complaint about engine fires. The Fiero was a good idea, but Pontiac making it a Citation undernieth ruiened it. but don't be scared, later Fieros are safe.
Toyota MR2
1986-2005
The MR2 started life as a car to battle the Fiero, but later in it's life, it turned to a pocket Ferrari. The MR2 was built better than the Fiero, and was more sucessfull. (well duh it was a Toyota). The MR2 was popular in the tuner world, and in 1999 it was turned into a Miata like roadster, and Toyota said that no more MR2s will leave the assembly line after the 2005 model year ends, same with the Celica.
EDIT: they stopped sending them to the US, but are still available in the UK and such. you can still buy one in the US, because the Dealers will still sell them as long as they're in inventory, after that, you can't.
