Hello once again to another car commercial of the past! In today's car commercial, we have quite the commercial featured with a very fitting song playing for the duration of the video. A predominate car featured is the 1988 Pontiac Fiero Lets get into details about the Fiero shall we?

For 1988, a 2.5 Liter, 4 cylinder, engine that produced 110 The Pontiac Fiero was a 2 door, mid engine fastback that was made from 1983 (1984 model year) to 1988. The name "Fiero" meant "proud" in Italian and "Wild", "Ferocious" or "Fierce" in Spanish, a fitting name complementing the body style of the Fiero.

The base Pontiac Fiero was powered by a base 2.5 Liter, Inline four cylinder, gasoline engine known as General Motor's "Iron Duke Engine" rated at only 98 Horsepower, at 135 FT-LB of Torque. Base transmission was a 4 speed manual, but a 5 speed Getrag manual transmission, 5 speed Isuzu Manual and 3 speed Turbo Hydramatic Automatic transmission were offered as options for the Fiero.

The only alternate engine offered for the Fiero was a 2.8 Liter, V6 engine that produced 140 Horsepower at 5200 RPM, with 170 LB-FT of Torque at 3600 RPM. A certainly more powerful choice over the 2.5 Liter, Inline four base engine.

The base Fiero had a MSRP of under $8,000, making it an affordable 2 door fastback for consumers to purchase. The top of the line Fiero GT on the other hand cost $13,489 but included a powerful V6 engine, handling and outer styling improvements.

The Pontiac Fiero was a fun, 2 door fastback coupe that proved to be unique in outer design, but average in performance. If you wanted a uniquely styled, head turner 2 door fastback domestic vehicle with an affordable base price, the Fiero was the vehicle for you in 1988.
