Fair enough, but it does seen to me that the Fiero could easily be the GM rival to the Mazda MX-5 if Pontiac wanted it to be. But maybe that can be the plan in the 2000s.

Fair enough, but it does seen to me that the Fiero could easily be the GM rival to the Mazda MX-5 if Pontiac wanted it to be. But maybe that can be the plan in the 2000s.
Would it come from Pontiac or would Toyota beat it to the punch with W30-series MR2?
Another problem is that with out GM's takeover money, I expect Lotus Cars to be dead by now. That means no more Elise and Esprit.
Would Toyota and Pontiac believe the market for inexpensive, compact MR sport cars is still worthwhile? If not, speed freaks and gearheads ITTL may have to wait for a clever clog to come up with customized MR gearbox with conversion kit to fit LS engine into carcasses of 70's-80's mid-engine Ferraris, Lambourghinis and De Tomasos and race them instead.
1996 in one post
1996 is a quiet year at GM. No big news except for a complete redesign of their van range.
The big vans get their first redesigns since the 70's.
