The Vega was known to use more oil then gas. The blocks in them was very porous. Leaked oil right through the block. Chevy had one Vega. The Cosworth Vega. It had a motor developed by Cosworth. It was advertised as one Vega for the price of two. It was double the cost of one Vega. $3,400 vs $7,000

The Chevettes was noted for the bolt breaking that holds the crank damper in place. This let the damper walk off the end of the crank into the radiator. Taking both the radiator and crank out.

The Fiero was made from 2 cars. The front end/suspension came from the Chevette. The rear end/suspension came from the Citation. Low sales and Chevy high management is what killed the Fiero. Chevy hated the Fiero. They thought that it would take sells from the Vette. Pontiac management had their hands tied when they was developing the car by GM management.
