    You'd have to be an idiot to believe the Fiero was worth building in the first place.

    The Fiero was a good idea, but GM executed it the wrong way. At least Toyota hit the mark when it made the MR2
    I have found a new love in the form of a tristar.

    If they do build the new Fiero, it will probably be based on the Speedster/VX220 (right?). I have seen something that looks VERY close to the Speedster in some GM commercials for the "Employe Pricing" deal going on right now.

    EDIT: No, I'm not back in Virginia yet, but I should be back by 3:30pm on Friday, Sept. 10.

    I'll be 15 on Feb. 18th, so buy me a drink! (Hint: Don't look at it as the decimal number. <smirks>)

    I must say that is a very fake chop, i could believe maybe Pontiac using a couple similar parts but seriously, headlamps that are that distinctive, how could they pull that one off?

    But the Sky isn't being built of of that platform (the same as the Pontiac Solstice). The Opel Speedster is Mid-engined. I wouldn't mind having the Speedster, unless there are some issues I should be made aware of (recalls, mechanical issues, ride, etc.)

    It never ceases to amaze me how many pictures end up on the internet regarding "new" GM cars.

    You would think after all the false posts of "new" GM cars people would have learned how hard GM slams the lid shut on what they are going to release.

    After the early photos of the Z06, two people that were found to be responsible were fired from GM.

    If you really want to know what is going on with future GM cars; do a google search on Scott Settlemeir, Fbodyfather or Redplanet. Scott is the Camaro Brand manager and is very active on the internet. If you take the time to read his stuff you will learn a lot about how a major automotive manufacturer works. It will be quite eye-opening for you.
    Current Vehicles:
    2004 350Z Track
    2000 Camaro SS (Too many mods to list)
    2000 Durango (Wifes rig)

    Previous cars of note:
    1964 Impala SS
    1969 GTO Judge
    1970 240Z
    1973 GTO
    1978 280Z
    1979 280ZXR

    Yep, the Speedster has a big issue. It isn't waterproof .

    It looks like someone spliced a Lamborghini Gallardo or Murcielago with a C6. Obviously it's a chop, and although it's poorly done... it does have relatively good lines. It would be a waste because Fiero's SU... um.. erm, well.. they did not reach GM's "high quality" standard during production when they were still being sold. Um, yes.

    note: on a second look, I've decided I think that chop is ugly.
