1988: Pontiac announces that the Fiero would be discontinued at the end of the 1988 model year. The decision was officially because of an expected drop in demand for two-seater sports cars, but it also came amid heavy media coverage of Fiero engine fires. The last Fiero would roll off the assembly line on Sept. 1, 1988.
