I'll agree that a skyline would be better. It was built on better technology that had been refined for many years. It was also meant to be more expencive and better performing. I don't think many of this applies to the Fiero, despite some it's decent performance specs.

I do believe the MR2 Turbo did not exist until 1989 or 1990 and produced ~200hp. Which is very close, if not slightly less powerful than the prototype DOHC V6 which was developed for the legendary 1990 Fiero.

I find the Fiero was mostly slapped together form pre-existing cars of the time, and GM did not want to see the car succeed at all. Concidering the resistance from the brass to even build the car, I'd say what was accomplished was pretty impressive, especially in 1988 and the prototype.

Don't get me wrong, I love my Fiero, but I know it isn't some kind of mid-engine supercar. But I'd still prefer it to an MR2 of the same year. It's kind of Apples and Oranges to compare them if you ask me, despite the fact that they seem so similar.

I think this video sums up some of this nicely.

Both are great cars. One had to fight it's own company.
