Not sure Alex T. would see it that way as I think the centerline of the Fiero's transverse engine and majority of the transaxle sit behind the centerline of the rear wheels.
It is a mid engine.

Don't forget about the Corvair, also Mid-engine -ish.

The original prototype was mid engined, but then it was moved to the rear.

Who would ever buy a rear engined car? Oh wait....

Was in HS and working in a small town Chevy and Pontiac dealership when the Fiero came out. They were exotic by comparison to other cars then. I remember driving one a bit and how enormous the center console seemed. Also recall how someone saying their construction was so robust that a Fiero would "drive right through most cars" in a T-bone accident as well as the Fiero IMSA efforts.

Would have done better to remember all of my school work that well.:rolleyes:

My dad was looking for something interesting, and drove one of the 6 cyl models. He wasn't a fan. He ended up with a corvette instead.

I thought of that too, but looked it up and most of what I read indicated that they were rear engined.
