Fiero!

[Lawrence.Gowin@domain.elided]

"One of Pontiac's engineers knew almost from the start of production that
the Fiero had a disquieting tendency to become, quite literally a hot rod.
On Oct. 6, 1983, less than three months after production began at the
Pontiac plant, a Pontiac engineer wrote an 'urgent' memo 
to report that two Fieros had suddenly caught fire during test drives. The
engineer blamed the fires on antifreeze leaking out of badly insulated hoses
onto hot exhaust pipes. The man in charge of the Fiero project, Hulki
Aldikacti, saw a Fiero catch fire at GM's test track."

With the marketing department at a loss with what to call the new Pontiac,
the test engineers come through with a catchy name late in development...

Cheers,
