It Came from eBay Hell: The Porsche “Carriero GT”

Wednesday, March 16, 2011 | 0 comments


I swear the Fiero Owner’s Club of America is not paying my salary, it just appears that way. Here we have yet another stunning replica based on that most prestigious of U.S. motoring icons: the Pontiac Fiero. GM’s indefatigable plastic-bodied, mid-engined two seater has gone on to become the underpinning of many a dodgy European thoroughbred imitator. Today’s target is the Porsche Carrera GT, perhaps one of the greatest cars to come out of Germany in recent years.

Our seller’s “Carriero GT” features a rebuilt engine and transmission (never a good sign in this sort of car) with the car said to have covered 6,900 miles since then.

The seller will have more than enough once he sells this beautiful and quality replica for the low, low price of US$21,500. Don’t believe me? The seller himself says, “THE PICTURES SHOW THE BEAUTY AND THE QUALITY BUILT INTO THIS REPLICA.” And you can really see it too, from the awkward body mouldings, botched-together interior and Costco brand fog lights.

Perhaps most confusing is the seller’s comment that the reason for the sale is, “DOWNSIZING MY COLLECTION”. Does anyone else think this implies he / she has more of these Fiero-based replicas in his/her garage?

As always, check out our gallery and leave your piece in the comments below. Also, if you have any more of these...things...that you’d like to share, feel free to send us an email.

Study Shows What Brands Captured the Interest of Pontiac Owners in 2010

Monday, March 14, 2011 | 0 comments


A new survey from RL Polk & Co. suggests that most Pontiac owners who bought a new car in 2010 chose a product from General Motors. More specifically, of the 57,641 Pontiac customers looking to replace their car, GM was able to recapture 53.3% of them, with 33.5% being a Chevrolet vehicle, 11.7% a GMC, 6.7% a Buick, and 1.5% a Cadillac model.

A significant percentage of buyers defected to the Ford brand, which ranked 3rd overall with 10.5%, while the Chrysler Corporation saw the Dodge brand ranked 9th, capturing 3.2%. Jeep and Chrysler together were able to capture the interest of 1.7% of Pontiac owners looking for a new vehicle in 2010.

Almost 31% opted for imported brands, with Toyota capturing 7.7% of Pontiac owners, and Honda 7.5%.
