1987 Pontiac Fiero GT looks like a Ferrari, helps you steal your neighbor's wife



by Jeff Glucker


The Pontiac Fiero was produced from 1984 through 1988 and the "fired-up" GT version was introduced in 1985. Just one year before the car's demise, Pontiac slightly updated the Fiero front and rear, greatly improving its appearance to most late-'80s buyers in the process.

A video sales aid was produced to help dealers learn more about the Pontiac Fiero GT and the clip is pure, uncut 1987 packed into 6 minutes and 38 seconds. We won't spoil the entire clip but it features a nerdy Fiero owner, an 80's tough guy neighbor and that tough guy's jean-jacketed significant other.

"Just like a Ferrari? Pretty close."

Put on your acid wash jeans then click past the jump and take a trip back to a time when people confused Pontiacs for Ferraris. Poor guy in the Mazda RX-7 just didn't stand a chance... And now you know why hunting down dealer training materials is one of our favorite guilty pleasures.
