Christmas shopping time is approaching (at least it is time to start saving up for the coming bills), and my wife has informed me that the one thing that she wants more than anything else is a "pointy car." Well, that leaves me with (as far as I can see) a TR-7 (or TR-8?), Fiat X-1/9, and Pontiac Fiero. The Fiero is out of my price range (less than or equal to $6k), so I'm left with not many choices. On top of all of this, I have not heard very good things about either the Triumph or the Fiat when it comes to maintenance (and I'm certainly not rich). Any suggestions or comparisons? (Mail to me and I'll summarize later is there are enough requests for summaries). Thanks in advance. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Christian W.
