Stylin' in '88!

that Subie looks like garbage on the outside. My least liked design of theirs----   Ever.

I think it ok. Everyone thought mine was a Prelude.

Fiero and it's not even close.

88 was the year GM finally figured the Fiero out.  Lotus-tuned suspension, good looks (I'm particularly fond of the "fastback" like the one shown).  The engine could have been better, but for the time the 2.8 V6 wasn't completely awful.  If I had time, space, money, tools, and know-how (I know, I'm asking for too much), I'd love to take an '88 Fiero and swap the original 2.8 for a newer 3.4L DOHC (same block design).

A coworker of mine did that (swapped in a 3.4 DOHC V6). His Fiero is easily the nicest I have ever seen.

What was the wow factor in the XT?

Northstar Fieros are the shit.

What was the wow factor in the XT?

The XT6 was batshit crazy, but with AWD and 2600 lbs, it was quite the track car.

What was the wow factor in the XT?

Along with the interior (especially that sterring wheel and the pods) it had lots of things that were unheard (in an affordable car) of back in '85. The dash and pods moved with the tilt steering column, It only had 1 windshield wiper, AWD (wich was unheard of in a sporty car like the XT) and the fact that is was a Subaru stunned the shit outta people! At the time Subaru made high riding 4X4 sedans and wagons. Not low slung sports coupes like the XT.

Starion, EASY. I knew as soon as I saw the picture

Same. Part of the reason I love them is because they look so much like one of my favorite looking Porsches - the 944.

MR2, but it's hard not to vote for the StariQuest or the MerWorth. The Subie is really cool, too, and I like the nicer Fieros. This thread does not belong in Jalopies, IMO.

Fiero. My neighbor has one and it's fairly mint condition. Still sounds pretty good too.
