龐蒂克Fiero

????通用（General Motors）研發這款車的初衷是好的，只是結果事與愿違。通用董事會將這款中置引擎跑車定義為一款“通勤車”。1984年，這款扯得發布會召開時，時任龐蒂克（Pontiac）老板的比爾?霍格蘭德對它寄與厚望，親自來到紐約參加推介會。當時我拉著他到野外進行試駕，我們在西點軍校（West Point）附近的某個地方迷了路，午餐遲到了整整一小時。由于性能、可靠性和安全問題，Fiero跑車提前結束了歷史使命。現在它的歷史地位也只是一件古董，僅供獵奇，而非經典。

Pontiac Fiero

????One of General Motors' good intentions that went awry, the mid-engine Fiero was snuck past the automaker's board of directors as a "commuter car." Excitement was so high that Pontiac's then-boss, Bill Hoglund, came to New York for the introduction in 1984. I took him for a test drive upstate, and we got lost somewhere around West Point, arriving an hour late for lunch. The Fiero's life was cut short by performance, reliability, and safety issues, and is now more curiosity than classic.
