Over the model’s five-year production run, approximately 370,168 Pontiac Fieros
were made. For a full breakdown of how many Pontiac Fieros were built per year, take a look at the table below: A prototype Pontiac Fiero was built for the 1989/1990 model year, but the vehicle was discontinued and never saw large-scale production. This was largely due to years of declining sales after early issues with the Fiero’s brakes, steering system, and suspension came to light, which severely damaged the model’s reputation.
When the Pontiac Fiero was first introduced in 1984, it was available in four styles—the Base, Sport, SE, and Indy—and could only be equipped with a 4-cylinder engine. In 1985, the Pontiac Fiero added the GT submodel and expanded upon the SE trim to include a V6 engine option.
In 1987, the Fiero lineup expanded to include the limited Mera trim—though it may be disingenuous to call the Mera a trim, as it changed the original Pontiac Fiero body to one that resembled the Pininfarina Ferrari 308.
In 1988, Pontiac dropped the Fiero’s SE trims and added a Formula option, which was heavily based on the GT but included an upgraded WS6 suspension, rear spoiler, and a 120 mph speedometer.
