This is sounding like a publicity stunt more than a real crime thing....

Were people buying these Fiero's and thinking they were real Ferrari's?

Yeah it seems like it, though I'm sure most people knew it was a fake. Most people that would drop 30G's on a car know enough to know a Ferrari from a Fiero.

I can just see it now..

"What? I didn't know a V8 was a factory option."
"Yeah, this is the toned down, slower version. Very limited, very rare."
"Custom Fiero interior in my Ferrari! Sweet! I'll take it!"

These are some more links about it.
