The 3.8 supercharged would have made the Fiero a supercar for the common man. The interior sucked; luv my Lexus SC300.

I have gotten my driver's license in the 2 doors silver 1988 Pontiac LeMans LE went i was in the U S. Navy

I had a brand new 1985 GT and it had the original back on it. There were GT's that didn't have the extended sail panels. Just saying.

Beautiful E24s. I remember back when I was 8, my father looked at a late m635csi. It was a purple with white leather seats. He went for the B12 instead :) thanks for the video

We also have a used Covid mask hanging off the air pressure gauge in case of another breakout.

I’m an outside sales rep that drives three states. I have a Mercedes AMG and I have this car. I can tell you the vehicle is a lot more comfortable and it gets way better gas mileage. I’ve already put on 15,000 miles and there’s not been a problem with the car.

Filmed in Virginia ? What city ?

Piece of junk after driving it 3000 km start having issues and the dealership couldn't find what's the issue that making vibration so directly i sold it

Most of the dickheads commenting on the ad wouldn't know what a Jaguar was if they were crushed by one.

We had that exact same Roadmaster station wagon. Can't recall those roof racks though. Classic vehicle. Lucky you.

Also put a fresh rebuilt 360 out Cherokee in my CJ7 nothing out of ordinary but what a power difference from the wore out 304 it shredded the t150 3 speed had get another cj pRts one for the t18 four speed brute it was.

You say tricky i say fun.

Probably one of the coolest Fieros I've ever seen.

great review , i purchased a 2024 chevrolet trax in march of 2024 and so far i love it, a few software recalls but they took care if it and i dont put many miles on the car, it does live most of its life in my garage, always clean and cared for here in northeast pa, i have only put 3800 miles on the car so far, and had it serviced at about 3300 miles oil and filter and tire rotation, to be safe, great fuel economy and very comfortable, so i am very satisfied with the car so far, fun to drive and great gas economy, the buick i love also, suscribed to your channel so i will be watching from now on, great job :)

the volume is very low and only on the left ear

Sorry, I just can't agree with your assessment of the XJ40 from a styling point of view. As you say, development started in the 70s and the finished car looks very similar to the prototypes of that era. The Series 3 "face-lift" post-dates those XK40 prototypes and, in my eye anyway, the Series 3 should have been far more in evidence in its replacement. The subsequent X300 and X308 suggest that there were those at Jaguar that felt the same way but were somewhat stuck with the XJ40 as the basis of those cars. If the snippets of the new car that have been released in the last few days are to be believed the new car will owe more to ripping off the Rolls Royce ugly-but-well-built image that works for RR largely because it is well built.

Nice place to visit

Great review

I remember back in 1986 when Jaguar released a special programme on the BBC about the making of the XJ40 and all the fanfare.

Id prefer a Mr2

From my point of wiew, in Sweden - Jaguar have an exclusive reputation, "traditional" design elements and are regarded a a brand with a clear heritage of british design/tech - old jag are cheap, but so are mercedes too - esp the more exclusive models. I do not think the aim at woke ppl will draw new buyers, as most younger ppl in city of Stockholm use car sharing/carpools while ppl as myself (60+ will remain a good taget yet) - I think this is as bad for jaguar as if volvo should dump their safety image - and at last, I think the woke pendulum will swing towards more "traditional" values as most of reasonable ppl with decent jobs want stability - to raise their kids and live as comfortably as possible. Not dance around in colourful dresses looking like crash test dummies. I cinncerely hope Jaguar will survive and take us into the future without forgetting their past.

There is s suspicion that this ad was intended to shock, in order for it to go viral. In that they have succeeded beyond any marketer's dreams. If that was the case, they would keep a stiff upper lip in response to the negative reactions, and then follow up with adverts featuring the cars etc.. Everyone would be interested to see what follows due to the viral spread of the initial ad. But, they didn't do that at all: instead they came out and insulted the public, calling them "vile and intolerant" for not liking the initial ad. That tone deaf response kind of blows the above theory into the weeds. Sad..

Sweet video! I know a guy with a Cadillac V8 swapped fiero for sale, I just made a quick video about it if anyone's interested kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZDMfp2pi6xqf7s

I felt strange that I wasn't offended by the ad one bit. They could have marketed change by using any formula, they just chose that formula. That's all I saw. I think you explained it in perfect business detail. They have stirred up incredible, debate, interest and anticipation, which Is ideal marketing.

With diminishing sales, Jaguar announces that it is going to abandon its market segment and move upmarket to compete in the Bentley and Rolls Royce luxury car market segment and double the basic price of the cheapest new Jaguar. What could possibly go wrong?

In 2004 I bought a second-hand 2001 X308 XJ8, a Jaguar of the Ford era, for my wife, and this car is still owned by us. Our XJ8 has been an amazingly reliable auto likely because the Ford era contributed to a generally much improved build quality compared to our prior Jaguars. We have been consistently attentive to routine maintenance over the years and that has kept our classically handsome XJ8 running beautifully to this day We both believe that Ford's ownership was a perfect answer allowing Jag to address many of the manufacturing issues especially evident in the earlier years. As much as we love Jaguar, we both believe that the new advert campaign is a fundamental error, and not a correct direction to begin its new BEV model rebranding. So we disagree with your opinion, sorry. Cheers.

I own a 68 Sunbeam Rapier today

Good points, When the Mark X (10) hits the streets, it was rather radical compared to its predecessors ( same could be said for the XJ). Those still running around their beloved 2nd hand Mark V's etc reacting much as those today. Just like those that bit their lip when the Silver Shadow appeared. Fast forward to the XJS, OMG the horror "how could they" E Type lovers speak of it as blasphemy - yeh for Gen X it was their poster Jag. They do need to pull a cat out of the bag though. In the past 10years there's been nothing inspiring that's "poster on wall or a screen saver" material. "one day I want one of them" moment has been lacking in their product range.

The XJ40 was a superbly engineered car. The styling is still beautiful.

I worked for Rover from 90 to 05 so the Sterling is definitely from my period. In 15 years I only once ever fancied a Rover with my staff discount of 35% & when offers were on we could get a brand new car for half price. I wanted a Rover 220 Turbo Tomcat coupe. Couldn't find 1 in any dealership in West Yorkshire as I worked for Rovers automotive Foundry in Leeds ( West Yorkshire Foundry) I found a 6 months old demonstrator but that didn't entitle me to my discount. Cars had to be in stock in any Rover dealership unregistered. 800s wasn't that bad & 600s the rest were crap.

I've got an 1989 and a 1990 myself the 89' is black and the 90' was white

That Cadillac isn't the B body Fleetwood that shared mechanicals with the Buick Roadmaster. That is the front wheel drive C body Deville fron 1989 -1993.

Nice finds over there - youngtimer and oldtimer Mercs, Sterling.

Nice to know someone likes the Sterling. It doesn't look in too bad a shape. Shame they wont part with it.

We need a coyote powered Fiero GT project.

I do try and visit a few breakers while i'm on holiday in the usa, mainly looking for ford escort zx2 parts, sadly they are scarce. but i do love a good rummage around these breakers.

Well, the LeMans name has already been tarnished by 1978-1981 rebadge of an A/G - body car. So no big deal here. As for the car itself - typical 80's Korean PoS.

Fascinating find for sure. So many Italian cars, as if You're in Italy. Such a shame there were no 124 sedans/wagons.

I hate to be that guy but I got that exact same setup 😂mines two years newer and a gt fastback though

I'm a bit confused. Why would you use a garmin and have carplay at the same time? Just use your phone for maps

Nice video, and looks like an overall solid vehicle for its age. Better idea than the full-size camper for your needs as well. Too bad about the electrical but you seem to know your way around a fix. Good luck!
