I went to have a look at the new Target department store at Scottsdale Mall. A peak in the toys section and I found Fiero hotwheels. The Boulevard series is abit more expensive. They're $3 instead of $1.39.   But after a closer look, there is a flaw in this Fiero. A real Fiero officiado should spot this immediately.







I bought one, and it looks like there is one left.

Tire and fender gaps aren't large enough?

Actually, the front hood surface is too long and the driver compartment roof is too short, making them have to make that door line kick back to its proper position.   

The air intake is the actual correct answer other than that colour scheme was never available

Shouldn't there be a rear spoiler, too?

No.   The rear spoiler was not available as an option until the 1985 model year. Even then, it was an option.   Even the luggage rack on my car was an option.

Yeah, David already nailed it. Intakes are always on the
left on Fieros. The other issue with this one, of course,
is that it's a notchback...
Never shift into reverse without a back-up plan.
