Do you think the Fireo is coming back. I'm starting to notice them more and more at car shows, popping up for sale in some one's front yard, and all kinds on eBay.
What does that mean - "coming back?" Do you mean you think GM will make them again? Remember - Pontiac is dead.
Except for Fiero fanboys I am no sure anyone misses the Fiero.
Exactly.
I for one miss the "concept" of the Fiero... mid engine, rear drive, two seater... It was one of the few unique vehicles that GM has ever created. Had they continued development, I think it would have been a huge success. If they'd made it a targa or even a convertible version, I think sales would have been great. Just look at how well the Miata was received when it came out in 1990. The Fiero had great potential.
There's quite a few people doing v8 swaps in Fiero's, and the light v8 combination makes it a pretty fast little car. Not much different than the Datsun 240 to 280 crowd swapping v8's for more power.
I thought Fieros were great. By the end of the run the later years had started to look really good. The v6 was a great upgrade over the iron duke 4. Still a crappy 2.8 v6 but if they would of put the 3.8 v6 it would of been great.. That platform had great potential.
They fell apart even as Pontiac was making them. How can they still be around?
They did not. And repeating that crap is only showing you to be uninformed.
A lot of Fieros will never come back because they got used as the basis for Ferrari and Lamborghini kit cars. The basic chassis of the Fiero lent itself quite well to this task. There are a number of Super Duty 4 cyls runing around, as well as was mentioned, V8 conversions. Fieros are quite popular with the hot rodding crowd...

They never have gone away. There has been a strong and loyal following of Fieros for decades. Tons of people have and continue to do body kits, engine swaps, etc on them.
More frequent appearance at shows these days may be a function of their age and the fact they are now more "scarce" as the drivers are worn out and retired from service.
I have owned and driven them for years, until earlier this year when my last Fiero's engine cradle rotted out and just was not worth the time or investment to swap the drivetrain onto a new cradle. (Drivetrain needed a complete overhaul too).
