I'd be looking forward to a new mid/rear engine GM car again. The fiero got off on a bad start, but I've sen a few nice GT survivors. I like Corvair Spyders as long as the fan is an electric conversion , otherwise you need a few spare belts.

For something neat look up a Gregory sedan.
Never heard of it but if I were to guess ... I'd say rear engine/front drive?
