can I get a WTF?
Someone got stuck in the Wayback Machine.
Why not just get a Solstice GXP?

I was thinking the same thing.

Mid engine gives superior weight distribution, lower polar moment of inertia and lower driveline losses. There's a reason why all of F1 and most LeMans prototypes as well as most supercars are mid engined.

None of which the Fiero platform really takes advantage of... I would rather swap the 2.0L turbo 4 into the late Toyota MR-S, lighter, stiffer, stronger, and prob much easier to come by.

Midengine cars are inherently safer also, because they do not have an engine block to screw up their front crumple zones. Look up the crash test results and you will find 5 stars for both the Fiero and the first gen MR2 WITHOUT AIRBAGS!
I would much rather have seen GM build a new Fiero than a Solstice. Safer, better MPG, better handling, and quite possibly cheaper.
BTW - the 88 suspension was excellent (although I bet GM could do better now), and it outhandled the MR2. The only significant difference between a base 88 suspension and an 88 GT suspension was the rear swaybar.
