| The Stig tries out the iconic Fiero |
Why did the Pontiac Fiero got featured in Forza Motorsport 4's December IGN Pack? It's simple really because it has a place in Top Gear history, that is if that car's featured in an episode of Top Gear USA when the presenters have to bought an old GM car for a series of challenges. As a matter of fact this Pontiac Fiero GT is Tanner Foust's car of choice. Despite its looks, the Fiero failed most of the challenges.
Okay, enough Top Gear crud right now. About that Fiero, this car is been made to be kind of a "poor man's Ferrari" even though that the Pontiac Fiero is a mid-engine all-American sports car. This is how when Americans built a midship sports cars...and then lost it. This here is the GT version, a more hardcore version of the American midship sports car, no wait, this is the 1988 Model of the Pontiac Fiero GT. It features some Lotus-style suspension system made by Pontiac to enhance the handling of the Fiero GT. Too bad, the 1988 Model Year is the last of it even though Pontiac made a 1990 pre-production model of the Fiero.
What surprised me about the Fiero is the exterior design because that looked like the cars of racing video games, especially a game you used to have...RIDGE RACER!
