Nope, didn't know that 'til now, but those front nose caps do look very similar to the C5!

Man, you sure do know a lot about GM - what is it that you are allegedly "retired" from, anyway.....................

But did he design that 88 base/formula nose? Most Fieros had this nose:

or this nose:

Neither of which look very much like a C5.

(I'd link images inline but the Fiero is turning out to be an uncooperative subject.)

I can see now why you keep saying C5 looks like a Fiero now -- but only the last-year base/Formula Fiero, which ain't the one most of us remember.

Well, I have mostly said it looks like a Pontiac. But I admit I have said once or twice that the C5 front looks like a Fiero front.

The V-6 Fieros were fun to drive . . .

It looks MUCH more C4'ish to me.

That's what I thought when the c6 first came out. Slowly I warmed up to it and today I think it looks better then the c5.
