Also in the running for 1989 or '90 was this version of the "Trans Am look" that was being evolved when Fiero was felled by GM cost-cutters. Flared rocker bottoms furthered the T/A connection, but a more sculptured back panel with triple-lamp motif would have been Fiero's own. Front end was a careful evolution of 1987-88. Headlamps would have remained hidden beneath pop-up hood panels, but the switch from squares to oblongs shown here implies a planned change to smaller, newer-design high-intensity lighting. All four of these views were taken just outside the Design Staff offices at GM's Warren, Michigan, Technical Center.
