I always thought the Fiero was really badly handled from the get go. When it came out it had poor suspension, and was underpowered for what it was trying to be, so they jack-knifed a v-6 in which screwed up the balance, and had some other issues with overheating IIRC. I don't think the suspension issues were ever dealt with, I read somewhere they took the suspension pretty much straight from some econo box whose neame eludes me at the moment. By the time they scrapped it, they had what should have been the ideal engine in the Quad4, though it had some reliability issues as well (mine did, anyway).
